Pray this Lazaroo in peace-filled trust:

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves…”
(Philippians 2:3)

This is so opposite of the world I live in, Jesus.

What an opportunity in this darkness
to allow Your Light to shine!

It begins with total trust in You, doesn’t it?

If I know You’re taking care of me every step of the way
I’m freed from thinking about myself all the time

and able to focus on blessing others.

Pray this Lazaroo in head-shaking amazement:

“Why have I found such favor in your eyes…?”
(Ruth 2:10)

How refreshing is that, Jesus?

In this day of people pounding their chests, swaggering –

I’m so used to hearing:

“It’s about time!”
“I’m the best there is!”
“Check me out!”

But here’s Ruth, so unassuming

that when someone does something nice for her
she’s stunned, not comprehending –

the exact opposite of an attitude of entitlement.

No wonder You selected her to become

one of Your many-times-removed great grandmothers.

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.
