The deal with idols is that they always disappoint. And then, even as they are disappointing us, they demand payment. Ask the addict; the pain pills slave. Or the woman who idolized the power of her youth beauty and now sees it fade. Or the man who traded his family for the once in a lifetime opportunity, again and again. Or ask the couples who looked to each other for all meaning and purpose. Then, the honeymoon ended and all they see in each other’s eyes is disappointment. Idols always, always disappoint. Christ wants to be paired with us. But he won’t let us sync up with him until we disconnect with our idols. We can’t have it both ways.
