Even though these are the words God spoke to Moses regarding the possession of land, leading to the year of Jubilee, it wondered how much better our lives would be if we took the same perspective:
"The land must not be sold permanently because the land is mine and you are but aliens and tenants."
How much contentment might there be in remembering that it is all His. We're just enjoying it for a while. And, while there is nothing wrong with having nice things, holding those things loosely gives a new-found freedom. Enjoy what you have, but if the price of having something else, something more costs too much of your life, your heart, your love, your peace; let it go. It's not worth such a price for something that is so temporary.
