We have only two choices


 You have two choices now and only two.  Choose your master each and every moment. One will give you power and love ; one promises the same but lies and lead you into misery
 Think of your mind as divided. Part of it is caught in the lives of the flesh and your old will;  The other part is one with Jesus,  Who is the truth and shares the will of the Father.  Your choice is to believe one or the other. You cannot believe both at the same time.
     You cannot see two worlds at once, or darkness and light at once.
       You cannot serve two masters, as Jesus said. (Matthew6:24)
     You cannot serve both God and the system of the world called mammon.  You cannot serve both both fear and freedom. You cannot serve both offense and forgiveness. You cannot serve both love and judgment. You get to choose one master or the other.
   Which will you choose.  All of your life comes down to this very simple choice in every moment. What do you choose to see? Who will you put your faith in :  your old self, or Jesus in whom you live and move and have your being? Who will you listen to :  The holy spirit within you, or the flesh and the accuser of that flesh?
     Consider all the schemes that your flesh promised would bring you salvation from the storm. Has listening to the guidance of the flesh ever saved you? Be honest with yourself and you will know the truth.  You will listen to madness, or you will listen to truth. Two choices. One is your prison; one is your freedom.
   But do not judge yourself for your own madness if you cannot hear or see the truth, for now we see only in part. Even awareness of your blindness is a giant step forward in your journey of seeing.
 So then, be glad even that you can now see your blindness. You are blessed and see already !
