A toy. A special treat. A quarter found on the ground. "Mine!"
While parents work hard to decrease the number of times children use this word, teaching them to share instead, I also find myself pondering with the scriptures this morning the beautiful aspects of this word...
...because when something is "mine," I claim it, I care for it, I am dedicated to it.
When it comes to MY child, MY spouse, MY parents...there isn't anything I wouldn't do to protect, to support, to defend.
The scriptures for today...
The Lord made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Psalm 100:3
Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people. 1 Peter 2:10
This morning, I am simply trying to rest in the knowledge that I belong to Someone. The God who spoke light into darkness speaks this word over me: "Mine." And there isn't anything God wouldn't do to protect, to support, to defend.
May the peace that passes all understanding be with you as you read this...you have been claimed.
