Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt anticipation:

“I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.”
(2 John 1:12)

Partial joy is good, Jesus.

It sure beats total sorrow!

Partial joys are little oases in the desert of life!

Thank You for every one You’ve given me.

But complete joy?

Whew! I was starting to think I’d have to wait till heaven for that one.

But if John can experience complete joy by visiting passionate believers

why can’t I?

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They will come trembling to the LORD…”
(Hosea 3:5)

That’s not a bad way to come to You, Jesus.

It sure beats coming to You full of pride.
It’s better than coming to You burning with anger.
It’s preferable to coming to You eaten up with doubt.

When I come to You with trembling

it’s because I realize how small I am
and how awesome You Are

how flawed and sinful I am
and how perfect, righteous and holy You Are.

Pick up a tip as you pray this Lazaroo: 😉

“You will do well…”
(3 John 1:6)

What a great way to give important advice, Jesus:

Preface it by saying:

“You will do well…”

Sure beats:

“You’d better…”
or, “You have to…”
or, “I’m telling you to…”
or, “I’m warning you…”

I’ve got to remember everybody wants to do well.

So when I offer advice –

especially the unsolicited kind –

cause me to remember and enable them to understand:

I’m only helping them do
what they already want to do.
