Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“And this is love: that we walk in obedience…”
(2 John 1:6)

Contrary to popular opinion, Jesus

love isn’t a feeling.

Feelings are deceptive.

Sometimes I feel good when I should feel bad.
Sometimes I feel bad when I should feel good.

Feelings are about me.

Obedience is about You –

and those around me
who can’t feel what I feel

but who know they’re loved
when they see the evidence.

Feelings come and go.

Love stays.
Because love obeys.

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed determination:

“Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD and went to Ninevah.”
(Jonah 3:3)

But when did he do that, Jesus?

It wasn’t when You told him to go the first time.
It was only after he ran from You

got swallowed by the fish You sent for him
and got vomited out on shore.

So much for my questions about why I have to go through my own traumatic situations.

Whatever it takes!

…when I don’t obey the first time.
