God, whose I am, whom also I serve. Acts 27.23. It is a great thing when I discover I am no longer my own but His. If the money in my pocket belongs to me, I have full authority over it. But if it belongs to another who has committed it to me in trust, then I cannot but what I please with it, and I dare not lose it. How many of us dare not use our time or money or talents as we would becasue we realize that they are the Lord's, not ours? How many of us have such a strong sense that we belong to Another that we dare not squander a dollar of our money, or an hour of our time, or any of our mental or physical powers? We are alive unto God, not unto ourselves. Real Christian life begins with knowing this. ----- Robert W.

Calling the money in your pocket the Lord's is OK as long as you use it to do the Lord's work (When you give alms your left hand should not know what your right hand is doing...no man can have 2 masters (God and money)...it is very difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven). Michael
