I could say I finally understand.  But I realize I did not understand before I understood.   Does that sound funny?  Well, it’s true.

And even now I likely don’t understand as I should.  In order to grow, however, we need to allow some level of understanding and say it is, at least for the moment, competent.  I mean, there was a time when I was competent enough to be moved into 2nd grade.  (I fear that might be the place I stopped learning)

All that preamble for the sake of saying this:
I see that everything I have or could have belongs to the Lord.  Most people would consider me rather dense because the Bible says so.  Doesn’t it?

Everything good I have belongs to Him.  What reasonable Christian would disagree?  But here’s a point that the majority of people miss.  Even the sin I had, and loved so much before I met Him, belongs to Him.

You think that’s a crazy and stupid statement?  What is sin?  Isn’t it simply a perversion of what is good?

So next time you’re talking to an un-saved person, tell them they have to give their sinful life back to God.  That oughta spin a mind or two.
