Pray this Lazaroo in painful recognition:

“…the lust of the eyes…”
(1 John 2:16)

When you use that word, “lust,” Jesus

it makes it hard to admit.

Oh, sure – there are certain things I see and would like to have

but I wouldn’t call what I’m feeling “lust.”

What sobers me, however, is this haunting question:

Is “lust” what You call it?

If You do
then that’s what it is.

I have this tendency to regard the sins I commit as minor.

But do You?

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…the lust of the flesh…”
(1 John 2:16)

Well, Jesus…

this is a big problem I know something about.

There are things my body wants to do
more than You want me to do them.

There are things my body wants to do
before or after You want me to do them.

There are things my body wants to do
that You don’t want me to do at all.

Conclusion?

I’d better listen to You
instead of my body.
