Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Whoever loves his brother lives in the light…”
(1 John 2:10)

It’s not that loving one of Your children saves me, Jesus…

it’s that if I’m truly on my way to heaven
I’ll love my brothers and sisters in You

even those as deeply flawed
as am I.

With some, it’s easy.

With others, as with me,
it takes a heap of intent.

It helps to realize that more than a feeling.

love is treating others as You command.

Open your heart to the love of God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.”
(1 John 2:9)

Apparently…

hating my brother is not something You approve, Jesus

seeing as how You not only died for me

but also my brother.

Last time I checked

fathers don’t take too kindly
to those who hate their children.

What do I do with these negative emotions?

Please!

Teach me to love them
with the love You have for me.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“I will show my love…”
(Hosea 2:23)

If I have a loving emotion I don’t express, what good is it, Jesus?

You’ve taught me that love is action:

It’s patient and kind.
It doesn’t envy or boast.
It’s not proud.

It’s not rude, self-seeking or easily-angered.
It keeps no record of wrongs.
It rejoices in the truth, not in evil.

It always protects, trusts
hopes, perseveres.
Love never fails.

Please help me follow Your example

and show my love.
