Open your mind and heart to a new level of understanding, as you pray aloud the words of this Lazaroo:

“Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrong. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous?”
(Habakkuk 1:13)

I love that I can ask You questions like this, Jesus.

You’re not offended when I point out to You what looks like a contradiction.

You look into my heart and can immediately tell:

I’m not accusing You of contradicting Yourself.
I’m begging You to help me understand!

I love something else about You, too:

You don’t get irritated when I ask You the same question this prophet asked 2,600 years ago:

As much as You hate evil –

why do You let people get away with it
when You alone have the power
to stop them in their tracks?

This is a test of my faith in You, isn’t it?

That one day:

in the perfect way
at the perfect time
justice will be perfectly served.
