Children take things from each other. "That is my toy! Give it!" Adults take things too. We may not steal from each other, but we take things from God.
We grab on to a thing and hold onto it, insisting that we have a right to it. It is mine! Mine!
What if instead of clinging to a thing, we gave it over to God. What if we released it to Him? Then and only then he could bless us by giving it back to us as he saw fit. As long as we cling to a thing, it cannot be given to us by God. The moment we release it to him, we allow him to show his generous love by giving that thing or any thing unto us.
To hold a thing is to watch it slip through our fingers. To release a thing is to gain our proper place in life. After all, we are stewards, not owners.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
