Masters

Everyone has either one master or the other. There are only two. The links in the one master's chains are the desires, the I wants: I want power and prestige, I want fame and fortune, I want the approval and applause of men, I want more than I have, I want to be the master of my own fate. And he knows that no matter what I get in any of these areas, the more I will want. The more I want to be in control, the stronger his chains hold me forged by the fire of discontent.And the outcome for his slaves is an eternity with absolutely nothing but the memories of what and who I have forever lost.
The Master of Love calls His servants to a life of ministry, a life of esteeming others better than themselves, a life of spontaneous service to those around them, a life of denying themselves, a life of bearing their cross and following Him day by day. And He supplies His servants with all they need--even the strength needed to spontaneously serve Him. In fact, the most astounding aspect of serving Him is that freedom He provides to do all the things He calls someone to do accompanied by a joyous heart. And the outcome of serving Him is an eternity of love and beauty and rest shared with the rest of His faithful servants.
Follow the master of emptiness or follow the Master of fulfillment even if you have nothing at all but Him.

No man can have two masters.
