"Serve the Lord with gladness." Psalm 100:2

Many think that you can come to know Jesus as Savior and maybe, when you get a bit more committed down the line, make Him Lord. We don’t make Him anything. He is Lord. If you know Him, at whatever level you can, you acknowledge His right to rule sovereignly in your life; you want Jesus to lead. Jesus asked, “why do you call me Lord, Lord but do not do what I say.” Following implies obedience. Like when we sing, "Have thine own way Lord, have thine own way, hold over my being absolute sway."
