You cannot serve two masters. If I am truly your Master,
you will desire to please Me above all others. If pleasing people are
your goals, you will be enslaved to them. People can be harsh taskmasters when
you give them this power over you.
If I am the Master of your life, I will also be your First Love.
Your serving Me is rooted and grounded in My vast, unconditional Love for you.
The lower you bow down before Me, the higher I lift you up into intimate
relationship with Me. The
Joy of living in My Presence outshines all other pleasures. I
want you to reflect My joyous Light by living in increasing intimacy with Me.
No
one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other,
or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God
and mammon
[money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord].
Matthew
6:24
But
I have this
[charge] against
you, that you have left your first love [you have lost the depth of love
that you first had for Me]. Revelation
2:4
May
He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually
energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your
innermost being and personality], so that Christ
may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply]
rooted and [securely] grounded in love, be fully
capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and
length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing,
endless love]; and [that you may come] to know
[practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far
surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up
[throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the
richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded
with God Himself] Ephesians
3:16-19
You
will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore. Psalm
16:11
