Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“We sent Timothy, who is our brother and co-worker in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith…”
(1 Thessalonians 3:2)

I know it’s my responsibility to stay focused on You, Jesus

to grow in You and to please You
in everything I think, say and do.

But when You send someone along with the gift of encouragement –

someone themselves strong in You who models it for me –

that’s nothing less than fire in my heart
and wind beneath my wings!

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…just as the Father commanded us.”
(2 John 1:4)

Not the opposite of what the Father commanded me, Jesus.

Not approximately

but just as I’ve been commanded by my heavenly Father.

Nothing less will do.

The problem arises, of course

when I discover through repeated trial and error
that I’m not that good.

I can’t pull it off.

That doesn’t mean I stop trying…

but it leaves me hopelessly head-over heels in debt
to Your loving, boundless mercy.
