Pray this Lazaroo with self-aware humility:

“…rid yourselves of…all…hypocrisy…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

I hate hypocrisy, Jesus.

And others hate it in me.

Oh, I don’t think I’m a hypocrite! Not at all…

until someone I love –
or someone I don’t love as much as I should –

points it out.

My first response? Denial.

“I’m no hypocrite!”

But then, Holy Spirit, comes Your inner voice:

“Actually, they’re right.
You don’t mean to be a hypocrite
but in this instance, you are.”

Denial stops.
Correction commences.
