Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with burning emotion:

“It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry…supposing that they can stir up trouble for me…”
(Philippians 1:15, 17)

Why would anybody do that, Jesus?

I don’t understand.

I mean…it’s one thing for somebody not to like me.

There are plenty of days when I don’t like myself!

But to hope something bad happens to me –
to actually go out of their way to make trouble for me?

I don’t get it.

Don’t they understand that what goes around…

comes around?

Don’t they realize You’re watching?

Don’t they understand You make it a point to punish people who hurt Your kids?

Obviously not.

Come to think of it…

that’s a far bigger insult to You
than it is to me.

Whatever they do to me

I have coming.

But to attack someone who belongs to You –
and think they can get away with it?

Oooooo.
