Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…just as the Father commanded us.”
(2 John 1:4)

Not the opposite of what the Father commanded me, Jesus.

Not approximately

but just as I’ve been commanded by my heavenly Father.

Nothing less will do.

The problem arises, of course

when I discover through repeated trial and error
that I’m not that good.

I can’t pull it off.

That doesn’t mean I stop trying…

but it leaves me hopelessly head-over heels in debt
to Your loving, boundless mercy.
