That’s MINE!

When a baby is born and begins to say it’s first words, somewhere in the mix will be the word MINE! It is accompanied by a death stare and a challenge that if you touch what’s MINE, I’ll scream at the top of my lungs. And Heaven forbid we even think about trying to take the focus off of the things that are MINE. I don’t think we’ve changed a whole lot. Oh, we don’t scream anymore, but we do HOARD things….MY car, MY house, MY ministry, MY pain, MY job, MY family. And Heaven forbid, we change our focus! We have built a world that extends to the end of how far we can see. But God’s kingdom is so much bigger. If He can get us to look away from what belongs to us, then He can change our focus to the things that really matter.
