All Things are Yours

 "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God." Mark 10: 14

"All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cepha or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.' 1 Corinthians 3: 21-23

'The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ," Romans 8: 16-17

I've noticed that young kids at school fight a lot over toys which they think belongs to them.

This boy I was working with in class had no interest in writing words, he was only interested in playing with these building bricks. I put the toy away and told him he could play with it after he'd done some writing. I also told him it will be nice to tell his mum and dad that he had written some words instead of playing all day.

Later, the boy noticed another pupil was now playing with "his" toy. While he was bawling his eyes out, I consoled him. I reminded him that all the toys in the classroom belong to the school which all the kids have to share. 

In the Bible, we are told that all believers in Jesus Christ are not only children of God, but joint heirs with Christ, which means all things belong to them.

I wonder if that's the reason why a lot of young kids have difficulty sharing? Maybe, it's becuse they know who they are in Christ until the world educates them otherwise. 😀
