You shall have no other gods before.
Not money,
not sex,
not fantasy,
not drink,
not drugs,
not career,
not fame,
not the right clothes,
not the 'right' image,
not family,
not children,
not marriage.
If you follow Me,
nothing shall take My place,
for I am a jealous God
and will consume your idols.
They cannot survive.
They cannot replace me.
They cannot fulfill.
Your idols are empty shadows of Me,
poor replacements,
counterfeit gods
with empty promises.
The hole inside you want to fill
is My shape.
Only I will fit.
And when I fill your emptiness
all other things will take
their rightful place.
