Pray this Lazaroo in full devotion:

“They all march in line, not swerving from their course.”
(Joel 2:7)

If locusts can do that, Jesus…

why can’t I?

Oh, I do well for a while…

then all of a sudden, I swerve
leave the lane You’ve marked out for me.

Do I make it back on course?

Sure. Here I am, talking with You right now
and grateful to be doing it.

But I would really like to mature to the point

where I never stray.

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“…he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you…”
(2 Corinthians 2:5)

Paul actually cared more about how this man’s sin was affecting the whole church

than he did about how it was affecting him.

That’s the heart of an apostle…a pastor…a Christian.

At some point in our daily walk with You
we’ve got to transition from a life that’s all about

me

to a life that’s all about You

and Your precious people.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…those esteemed as pillars…gave me…the right hand of fellowship…”
(Galatians 2:9)

It feels good when someone important accepts me, Jesus.

Although I sometimes forget:
in You, everyone’s important

which means that if one of Your unesteemed children is nice to me

I should be just as happy.

I wonder…

will there come a day when I’m more about accepting others
than being accepted?

Might be a sign of maturity, huh?

Might be a sign
of becoming more like You.
