Colossians 1:16 says, " For by him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him". So there you have it, everything belongs to God. So why are we so greedy and why do we need so many material things? It's all God's stuff anyways. We are on this earth because He put us here and we have the things we have because He gave them to us. Think of it this way, everything you own, you don't really own, you are just borrowing it while your here. That kind of gives you a different perspective, especially when people ask you if they can borrow something. That is how our mind set should be, everything belongs to God and i'm just borrowing it. Try it. I bet it will make people less greedy, less materialistic and more compassionate when it comes to giving and sharing. Can you imagine a world where everyone was willing to give away their stuff just to help someone in need. There is a lot of people like that, but there is also a lot of people just the opposite of that. It all starts with on person, one act of kindness, the good in people is contagious we just need to spread it around.
