It was said that whatever controls us is our Lord and that the person who seeks power is controlled by power, the person who seeks acceptance is controlled by the people he or she wants to please, and that we are controlled by the Lord of our life.
Whatever controls us is our Lord.
Now look, the person who seeks power, she means the person who says, I don't need God because I know how to get power. And I know how to get ahead in life. And I know how to get influence. If you're a Christian, that's a crutch for you, but I know what I'm doing. So you live for power. If you seek power, you're controlled by power. The person who seeks acceptance is controlled by the people he or she wants to please. If the basic way in which, if your flesh is saying you need love, you need acceptance, you need approval of people, you need to have people love you and think you're great, and then you go after that, and your biggest goal in life is to develop relationships, she says, then the person who seeks acceptance is controlled by the people he or she wants to please. We do not control ourselves. We are controlled by the Lord of our life.
