Lord when I try to please
anyone but you
I fall short of your glory
yours alone
is the love for which
my heart longs
you are the living water
to quench
my perpetual thirst
the bread of life
to satisfy
the hunger in my soul
anything less
is vanity
as it is written
man cannot serve
two masters
my life belongs to you
~Robert Van Valkenburgh
Reflection:
Where in your life do you still try to please others instead of seeking your identity and fulfillment in God alone?
Scripture:
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.” — Matthew 6:24
