Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with lavish love:

“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness…”
(Romans 1:18)

I’ve got a choice, don’t I, Jesus?

When Satan tempts me to do wrong

when my body demands something
that Your Spirit within me identifies as sin

I can either pay attention to the purity of Your clear direction and obey You

or I can cave in to my flesh, hell and the devil.

Ironically, in that moment
it’s not about self-discipline.

It has nothing to do with the strength of my will.
It’s not even about self-denial.

You designed me to listen to my body.

With You living in me

I have all the self-discipline
and strength of will

I could ever need.

Denying an urge
in order to please You

merely increases my reward.

Ultimately, it’s about just one thing:

love.
