Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.”
(2 Peter 2:9)

You’re not one-sided, Jesus.

You do good to those who put their trust in You.

But You also hold punishment in store
for those who defy You.

You are pure love.

But that means You hate evil
because evil is the enemy of love.

If love is to triumph – and it will –

evil must be smashed.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered, grateful reflection:

“Your wickedness will punish you…”
(Jeremiah 2:19)

There’s a reason why You forbid me to do certain things, Jesus!

It’s not because You’re a kill-joy.
It’s not because You don’t want me to have a good time.

It’s certainly not because You don’t love me
don’t long to see me experience life to the fullest.

It’s because there are thoughts, words and actions

that carry their own terrible punishment.

Out of pure love You tell me:

Don’t go there.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…Jesus Christ…will be with us in…love.”
(2 John 1:3)

That’s how I want You to be with me, Jesus!

That’s how I want to be with You.

You…Are Pure Love.

Of course, there’s a fierce side of You, too.

Because pure love isn’t weak.

It’s strong, robust, powerful, formidable.

When called for – which isn’t all that rare –

it has the capacity to be ferocious –

in defense of those You love

and to arouse in them fear, wonder, awe

worship.
