Serving Two Masters

Lately, I've been really meditating on what the bible means by "serving two masters" and how you "hate one and love the other".. and how this pertains to Jesus and the world.. light and darkness.

It's been hitting me so hard that I'm so convicted about it. My heart is so disgusted by Christians who claim to love Jesus with all their heart, then sometimes passing them on the street, you would never even think of them as a follower of Christ.

Yet, I find myself sometimes being the same thing that I hate. As much as you try and want to be 100% serving Jesus, there seems to always be that little part of me (or you?) that just doesn't wanna do it.

Is it rebellion? Is it ignorance? Are we not satisfied enough through Jesus Christ? How hypocritical we are to judge others, when we're just like them.

If we love the world, do you realize that it means we hate God? Read it in the Word. It's true.

What motivates us to be on fire for the Lord? What makes us stay totally on track 24/7 without backsliding the minute we get the chance?

Are we saying that what Jesus did for us wasn't good enough? Surely that's not it. Surely living for Jesus and taking up our crosses isn't just a front that we put up.. a show.. We're definitely not the ones saying "Lord, Lord" and not entering the kingdom.. are we? am I? are you?
