Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“‘Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,’ and he was called God’s friend. You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.”
(James 2:23-24)

James isn’t saying I’m saved because of the good works I do, Jesus.

He’s saying if I have true faith, my good works will show it.

However, if I claim to have faith but do the opposite

my claim is false.

True faith is revealed
by what I do.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“We ought therefore to show hospitality…”
(3 John 1:8)

It’s not enough to feel hospitable, is it, Jesus?

You want me to show it.
Others want me to show it.

But do I?

It’s so easy to become consumed
with my life, my work, my family, my pursuits –

to leave others to focus on their own lives
while I focus on mine.

Clearly, however, that’s not what You desire.

Open my heart, LORD!
to everyone You’re calling into my embrace.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If you have any…compassion…”
(Philippians 2:1)

Some people don’t, Jesus –

at least not that I can tell.

Of course, maybe they have it, but I’m not seeing it.

I might be expecting them to show it in one way
while they’re showing it in another.

Maybe I have such a focused agenda, such strong opinions

that I’m totally blind
to the different expressions of compassion in others

…as they may be to mine.

But You see.

That’s all that matters.

Get to the heart of the matter, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…don’t show favoritism.”
(James 2:1)

It’s interesting, Jesus…

You tell me not to show favoritism.
You don’t tell me not to feel it.

Of course, I imagine You’d like me to conquer that, too.

But first things first.

Not showing it is easier than not feeling it

though it’s hard enough!

Or do I have that backwards?

Might it be that my only hope at not showing favoritism

is not to harbor it in my heart to begin with?
