All that belongs to the Father is mine.
So what does the Father own anyway? When we look at the world around us, the sky above, the night stars, etc, do we think of them as belonging to anyone? And what is the value of the physical universe anyway? Peter writes, “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.” (2 Peter 3: 10) It sounds like there won’t be much left to own.
What the Lord values is not the physical shell of our being or the world it lives in. What he values is you. The you that is inside, the you that can love the Father.
All that exists belongs to the Father. All that belongs to the Father belongs to Jesus. What Jesus values most is you.
Food for thought: How does knowing Jesus help you understand the difference between your stuff and Jesus’ stuff?

JEC,
Nicely said! It all belongs to God one way or another.
