Category Archives: say goodbye

Pray this Lazaroo with a listening ear:

“…send them on their way…”
(3 John 1:6)

That can be a euphemism for saying goodbye, Jesus.

But sometimes people don’t want to leave
even though I desperately want them to.

Maybe it’s because they’re lonely.

In that case, help me cut them some slack
and love on them a little more before they go.

But please help me recognize when it’s because they’re killing time!

so I can wisely, kindly, firmly
send them on their way without delay.

Consider carefully, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Do not love…anything in the world.”
(1 John 2:15)

That’s…a strong command, Jesus.

But obviously, it’s one I need
or You wouldn’t have given it.

Sometimes I become so enamored with one of Your gifts

that I become attached to it
think I’ve gotta have it
gotta keep it.

Wrong.

I’m going to have to say goodbye

to everything I wear, drive, live in,
use, eat, enjoy, hear or see.

This world is not my home.

I’m just passing through.
