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.
