What do you have that you have not received?
God claims comprehensive kingdom ownership
of all of creation.
So if God owns everything, you and I own nothing.
There are no other owners.
God has given you the freedom to mess up what
He created.
In fact, He’s given you and me so much freedom
we can hand it over to the Devil if we want.
If you grab that, that you own nothing, including
your own life, cause it can be taken, you
have now set yourself on a journey of understanding
life.
It’s yours to manage, not yours to own.
So in the words of football: “How bad do you
want it?”
