Master, not servant

How do you view God, as Master or Servant?

Servant:
If you view God as your servant then you automatically place yourself above him. You put yourself in the place of authority where you think God is dependent on you. You decide whether his "resume" meets your standards. If his resume does not, then you just do what you have been doing all along. Which is? You live as your own master. Nothing would have changed anyway even if you were somehow impressed with God's resume. You would still be the master. In this perspective, God is subjected to you. You determine what is and is not. You have no need to consult God unless you want him to humor you. After all, what would he know? You know more because you "hired" him. You are in charge of you. You are free to do whatever you want. You decide how much you "pay" him. You determine the hours you need him. Also, you can "fire" him whenever you want. You are the master and he is the servant. You love you. You could care less about the servant. If you do, not more than yourself. Or, you would have served the servant. But, that's preposterous. You are the master. You are in charge.

Master:
If you view God as the Master, then you understand who you are and who God is. You have been placed in a humble position. You have been chosen by Him to serve Him. You realize that God does not need or depend on you to be God. But, you need and ought to depend on Him. You gladly and willingly do. Sure, there are days when you would like to be the master. After all, before God became your Master you were in charge of you.
Now, you are subjected to Him, and you would have it no other way. For you remember how hopeless, conflicted, and destructive you were without Him. Your resume had fallen short of his standard. But, the Master did something that you could not do for yourself. He accepted you because of the work of His Son. Now, you are thrilled to worship Him. Your heart beats to glorify Him. As time progresses, less and less of your sinful, selfish, self-seeking, and self-satisfying pursuits remain. Even those are subjected to Him. And you are blessed because of it. You are learning how to trust Him more and more, even though it seems to be so slowly. Your deepest desire is to trust Him fully, and He knows that. Actually, this is His desire for you because He loves you. Who He is, His love for you, and who you are because of His Son are daily transforming your life.
Is it all easy living? Not in the slightest. There are hardships and moments of discipline. But they are all part of His love. Sometimes you don't get it, especially when you are experiencing them. But, later you realize what they have accomplished. Even in them He never left you. His joy, peace, hope were and still are yours. He encouraged, refreshed, established, and blessed you and always will. He works for your good. Oh yeah, the Master works on your behalf too. Amazing, right?! Indeed! And you are grateful. Your praise of Him increases. It deepens. So, you breathe a prayer of thanks to your Master. Thanks, because you are no longer the master. Blessed, because you are the servant and He is your Master. He is in charge!

So, how do you view God? Is He is your Master or do you see Him as your servant? Just a heads-up, the God of heaven and earth cannot be made to be anyone's servant.
