Mine, Mine - Thoughts about God - Bible Verses

“To this John answered,
“An individual can obtain handiest what’s given them from heaven.” John 3:27

A 3 year-old kid grabbed the toy and screamed, “Mine!”

Her Sunday college trainer gave her a stern glance. “Sarah, did you deliver that from house or does it belong to the church?” “It belongs right here. However it’s nonetheless mine.” Tearfully, she pouted and grew to become away, the toy tight towards her torso.

As I noticed this scene, I requested myself if I slip into the similar angle in relation to what God have given me. Whether or not this is a small denomination invoice from my handbag passed to the beggar in the street, or the take a look at I position within the providing plate, the meal I percentage with pals from my cabinet, or my ability in writing or talking…it’s been talented to me via my gracious Lord, the author of all.

I would possibly assume I’ve “earned my pay,” however God provides me every sunrise-day to visit paintings and the bodily and psychological talent to do my task. He forgives my sins, having paid for them at the pass. He lovingly blesses me with greater than I deserve. Am I prepared to freely percentage my time and treasures, or do I hold to them and declare it’s all mine?

Dearest Lord, would possibly we all the time keep in mind that all is Yours to offer or remove. Thank You that You supply such a lot for us. Stay us from being grasping like a 3 yr outdated clutching Your blessings to our chests and crying, “Mine.” Lend a hand us to peel our arms away and be offering it again to You to make use of to Your glory, be it our cash, our time, or our abilities. Amen.

Concept: Is there one thing you’re clinging to, claiming it’s rightfully yours? Will you give it to God and agree with Him to inform you what to do with it?
