life, with my ability that is really God's, with my money that also is God's. My life is no longer self-indulgent, but I enjoy the privilege of serving the Maker of it all. If we believe God is the Maker and true owner, then it becomes our privilege to loosen our grip on whatever we have, and discover that our only real joy comes in what we pass along. If the whole world belongs to God, then we are a single family on this earth. Human divisions flutter away in the cool breeze of God's breath.
And if God is truly the Maker of heaven and earth, then we never lose hope. If I am made by God, then sticks and stones may break my bones, but I belong to God, and God has the power to bring me through any trial or suffering to God's good end for me. God's love is so voluminous, so touchingly personal, so unquenchable, that God made heaven—and our true citizenship rests in that future kingdom, not here on earth. Our destiny is with God, in heaven, and that heaven will make even the glorious wonders of this world pale by comparison.
