Many are the woes of the people who are led by self-interests. They are like a person locked into their own world of desires that never seem to be satisfied. They chase after more and more things but are never satisfied. This is the demon of greed that drives them. Any god that is not the Lord will lord it over them. The Lord will never lord it over you. He is gentle and kind and will lead you but never lord you. You acknowledge Him as Lord but He will never control you. He does not need to control you because He is Lord. Only a person who fears losing control will need to control others. The enemy of your soul knows he is a loser and therefore wants to control. Control is the manifestation of the spirit of fear. Therefore when you see a controlling person you can be sure that fear controls them. All the other behaviors manifest through fear. Only love can dispel this fear. It is the love of God which is the antidote to fear. A fearful person has disturbed sleep and disturbed relationships. Relationships are disrupted through fear. Fear controls you and others. Today determine to be free from the spirit of fear and let His love control you. There is no fear in perfect love. Come Jesus and fill me with your unconditional love.

This article has opened an insight. His love gives us a choice to respond back to Him sincerely, genuinely without ulterior motive when we realised His constant love. Loving Him for who He is. Not what we can gain or take from Him. Loving Him with a pure heart is His desire as in the 1st commandment. So when we love Him, we are drawing near to Him and He draws near. We can then get to behold him and to know Him more nearly, see Him more clearly and love Him more dearly. Thus the start of our journey in walking with Him, abiding…. Blessings and Shalom.
