“God loves you more in a moment than anyone could in a lifetime.” Anonymous
The meaning of mine: My; belonging to me. It was formerly used before nouns beginning with vowels. "I kept myself from mine iniquity."
Mine is in the Bible 825 times.
Ownership what is this claim ? Mine? Yours? Ours ? Many in our world claim the one with the most toys wins ?
Do we see and use these words with our Creator in Heaven? When I look at life there are truly no earthy possessions that we can truly claim as our own. We only have them for a temporary time. They all will fade like dust in the wind when the time comes to leave this world..
However we can emphatically state to our Creator that all things are yours. He does have full ownership of everything in Heaven and on earth.
I do believe ours can be a beautiful way to view our possessions and even ourselves. If we look to everything in our lives as ours, (mine and yours). As all things are Gods and we share ownership with Him for a just a moment in time. Perhaps we would truly value, truly cherish and treat all things with a greater respect and love. Just maybe our world could return to the paradise He once envisioned.
They say we must have a relationship with our Creator. With His power He could treat us in a demanding forceful way.. and make claims You are MINE !! But with His unselfish LOVE the word mine goes to a new beautiful level.. A level of mutual respect, mutual love, and mutual admiration.
He gently whispers to our soul you are mine... I am yours ... as He shares openly His heart, His Grace, His beloved Son with us. Thus allowing a beautiful relationship to be born. And as we cultivate this relationship, a love like no other grows into to that amazing word “ours”..
It’s during this transition, we return our temporary heart to its rightful owner and the one who created its life...and a beautiful love story is written ...
He claims us as His own... and We are His ! This life that we think is ours is truly His.. We must truly value it, truly cherish it and treat all of His gifts with a greater love, respect and admiration.
His unselfish love is beyond words.
It’s Him. it’s always Him.
So beyond words and blessed to say He is truly mine...
My beloved is mine, and I am his: He feedeth his flock among the lilies. Song of Solomon 2:16 ASV
