We either serve ourselves or God. What does this mean? It means that we should not put other things above God. If we put money above God we are held hostage to it, and it is as if we are serving money and not God. Jesus said, “No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Luke 16:13. Jesus loved and continues to love all of us and put us before Himself when He came and died on the cross (and later rose from the dead.). We too should put Jesus above all else. When we put Jesus first then we are also loving our neighbor as God in us as our first love helps us love others. 1 John 4:19 says, “We love him, because he first loved us.”. Praise God that Christ loves us and help us to love Him more. Amen
