Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:21)

Well, it’s not a meaningless great misfortune for the person who inherits all that, Jesus! 😉

Isn’t that the whole point of what I’ve accumulated –
to have the joy of passing it on to those I love?

Love isn’t fair!
It’s outrageously generous.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:21)

Well, no, Jesus.

If unwise, it doesn’t have to be done that way.

Does it usually happen the way Solomon describes it? Yes.

But is that necessarily bad? No.

One of the joys of life is working hard

so I can pass the fruit of my labors on to those I love.

 Pray this Lazaroo overcome with gratitude: 

“Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
(1 Corinthians 1:31)

Good advice, Jesus –

because everything I have comes from You.

Everything I’ve accomplished has been made possible by You:

You’re the one who breathed in me the breath of life.
Every skill, talent and ability I possess is a gift from You.

When an opportunity arises, You’re the one who creates it.

When the time is right to seize it
You, Holy Spirit, are the one who gives me the nudge.
