Reflect
So often, we claim people and possessions as our own—my car, my house, my daughter. But none of these really belong to me. Sometimes, it’s helpful to think of these gifts of God as being on loan from him.
Pray
Dear God,
Everything I “have” is yours.
You have loaned it all to me for now, but probably not forever.
Help me love what I have and let it go when you ask me to.
Loosen my grip on the things I think I can’t live without—
the only thing I can’t live without is you.
Act
Imagine something you love and practice saying the words, “I will give this back to you, Lord, when you ask me.” It’s not easy!
