One Master

No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. Matthew 6:24
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.Revelation 2:4
This morning I was reminded that I cannot serve two masters. I cannot have another love in my life that is pulling me as hard as God is trying to pull me to Him. I cannot live a fulfilled life always being torn in half to please anyone, or anything, else except God.

I say except God because that is my personal choice. I am choosing Him as my master and the one I want to live for.

Lately, actually a lot of my life, has been spent trying to serve many masters...if you read my other blog you will know that I've tried so long to please everyone else. At times I even forgot what I needed or what I wanted. I know that God is the only master I want to please and want to follow and I want to live my life in accordance to His word and His way!

I pray that He will show me how to live a life where only He is the one that I need to focus on and depend on. I pray that I will continue learning how to serve only Him!
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love. Ephesians 3:16-17
You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. Psalm 16:11
