Master and Slave
Posted: Fri Aug 31, 2007 10:14 pm
I willingly admit that I am weak in my natural self. I used to offer the parts of my body in slavery to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness. I now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness. (Romans 6:19)
With Sin and Our Lord, it is impossible to be neutral nor to serve two masters. Slavery within the adversary's court leads to nothing but dirt and filth that fester the guilt and shame of sin. However, when we become slaves to His Will, Word and Spirit, we are washed clean. It may seem much harder than the alternative master, but through obedience, dedication, and trust we can restore our lives for eternity.
This verse just always hits me when I come upon it, and He has been speaking to me of it much the past week... just wanted to share
GBU all,
