breaking the hush

“You cannot be a slave of two masters; you will hate one and love the other; You will be loyal to one and despise the other.
--Matthew 6:24a

Are you trying to serve two masters? Webster defines a master as “one in control.” What controls your life? Is it your thoughts, behaviors, emotions? Maybe money, relationships, pride, food, sports? You see, it may not be as obvious as something like drugs, alcohol, or pornography, but it’s no different.

As a recovering porn addict, I know what it means to be enslaved to something other then THE Master. The ironic think is when you start to serve The Master and you let go of what masters you, The Master sets you free.

“To have a master means that there is one who knows me better than I know myself, one who is closer than a friend, one who fathoms the remotest abyss of my heart and satisfies it, one who has brought me into the same sense that he has met and solved every perplexity and problem of my mind…He wants us in the relationship in which He is easily Master without our conscious knowledge of it all, all we know is that we are His to obey.”
