Pray this Lazaroo with a transparent heart:
“Anyone who does what is good is from God.”
(3 John 1:11)
That’s…quite a statement, Jesus.
There are a lot of people out there
who don’t accept You as Savior
who do good.
Oh, but wait a minute.
A deed is truly good
only when it’s done from pure motives –
and pure motives
originate with You.
When I do a so-called good deed
to win the approval of others
I’m serving myself –
not You or them
and the deed is soiled.
