The LOVE of Life
I see so many people distracted by hate that they are losing
sight of the love of life. Entangled in bashing whether gay or religious, these
people thrive on the negative aspects of everything to do with life.
I find myself wanting to distance myself from these people
but I do have hope that one day they’ll see the err of their ways and give it
all up to God like they proclaim. If you sincerely have given it all up to God,
should you be dwelling in the judgment seat of all men?
In a matter of minutes people are seen praising the Lord one
minute, then bashing gays or Muslims or political figures or what can I say,
the list goes on and on. It’s ironic I know but when God said you can’t serve
two masters, for some reason I’ve never had the impression that He meant money
and Himself.
I seriously think God meant that in a metaphorical sense
because so much of His word is built on metaphor. No He did not mean for a
camel to go through the eye of a needle, He did not want us to take an eye for
an eye, or pluck out our eyes, the list is endless here too, so why would we
think God meant, serving two masters meant God and money?
I PERSONALLY don’t feel we can serve love and hate. I do not
feel with one iota of my being we can serve good and evil. Love, hate, good and
evil are masters of our soul. They reign over us and we need to know which one
to serve in an every day, every second situation. *I* choose love and good,
over hate and evil but man cannot serve both on their platter of climbing the
social ladder.
The definition of serve:
To render assistance; be of use; help
How is dishing out your hatred of someone or something of
any assistance to anyone?
The definition of masters:
A person whose
teachings others accept or follow: ie: a Zen master.
Matt. 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will
hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise
the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
The definition of mammon:
Riches or material
wealth.
(often initial capital letter) a personification
of riches as
an evil spirit or
deity.
Do you see clearly how in Matthew 6 it is stated you cannot
SERVE (assist) two MASTERS? You will HATE the one or LOVE the other. I don’t
find it odd that the Words used are HATE AND LOVE. You my friend, cannot serve
(dish out) HATE and LOVE (praise the Lord) at the same time, you are serving
TWO masters.
I’m not going to run to Pinterest, Twitter or Facebook and
shout out how much I love and praise the Lord then in the next post shout out
how much I hate, despise, dislike or disagree with something (color it any way
you’d like) it is still a love hate relationship with whomever it is you show
allegiance to.
Again *I* personally choose love. I choose to love my
enemy, love my neighbor as much as myself, love the Lord my God and serve only
ONE master of my soul and that is the Lord of LOVE!
While you can dislike or disagree with my opinion, I will
love you and pray for you.
Ezek. 34:11 “For thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I
Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out.”
One definition of sheep: a meek, unimaginative, or easily
led person.
Idiom: Separate the sheep from the goats, to separate good
people from bad
or those intended for a specific
end from unqualified
people.
While some will call me a sheep because of my optimism,
hope, strength and LOVE for humans and humankind, I have to say thank you, why?
Pss. 37:11 “But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall
delight themselves in the abundance of peace.”
I am whom God created me to be and for that very reason is
the reason I am!
