Who is Your God?
Happy are those who run after HIM, who don't care about the opinion of others when it contradicts the voice of God.
For, who are they to override God's opinion, God's voice, God's will? Who has made man to be lord over another man? Who has said, "You will be his master."? For, who can rule over another man and be their god? Who is able to take this position? Who is qualified??
Is it not written that you are to love the Lord your God only and there shall be no gods before Him? And so, one man can not be God to another man. There is only one God, only one to be worshipped and followed.
But, be ever lovers. Love, not control, man. Serve, not manipulate, your brothers and sisters. No greater love is there than to lay your life down for them. And as you worship and love your Creator as He is worthy to be worshipped and loved, you will understand and know how to love people, not worship them or rule over them as their god or position yourself under them as your god.
“I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt, the place of your slavery.
“You must not have any other god but me.
“You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God…”

“This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
