"To Cannaan's fair and happy land where my possessions lie". God has been telling me to clean up my house and to get rid of things I don't need, but I find that very difficult because I fear I might need them later, so I keep them and my house has stuff that I haven't used in years, but that "I might need" so I am holding on to it. It stuck me that my real and only possessions lie in heaven with God, and not here on earth. These things are not really my possessions: they don't belong to me. They all belong to God-- $, things, people--and He has given them to me temporarily to use for His glory and my good and others' good. Like borrowing something from someone and using it, and taking care of it, and then giving it back. I need to let Him decide what to keep and what to give back (to others) and how to use these loans, like the parable of the talents. He knows best and loves best. Trust and do not fear.
