Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

Who knows? He may turn and relent…”
(Joel 2:14)

You Are Just, Jesus!

Your righteousness demands it.

You hate sin.
Sin has a penalty.

You’ve dished out that penalty countless times.

If You were only Just, though – who could stand?

We’ve all sinned
fallen short of Your glory.

But praise Your Holy Name, You’re also Merciful.

Again and again, You’ve treated us all
better than we deserve.

In behalf of those who themselves are merciful You declare:

Your tender Mercy
triumphs over judgment.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes wide open:

“Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!”
(James 2:12-13)

There’s no getting around it, Jesus:

What I plant is what I’ll get.

If I behave kindly toward those who’ve hurt me

You’ll treat me better than I deserve.

If I get my revenge against them

You’ll punish me for my countless sins
in full measure.
