Window shopping

Have you ever seen a hand bag that you love so much, but you cannot afford to buy it. Everyday when you walk pass that store, you take a long time to look at it. You bring the hand bag in front of the mirror and imagine how wonderful it would be if you could bring it home. Some time later, you think that you have already fallen in love with the bag, and you believe the hand bag has fallen in love with you too...

But what happen is, if you take the hand bag without paying, no matter how much you and the hand bag love each other, the salesperson is going to call the police.

Here is the problem. We need to clarify who has the ownership. You may rent a house and live that for 10 years, but it does not mean you gain the ownership of the house. You are merely a tenant.

Many people want freedom. They think they can do whatever they like because they are the owner of their life. In fact, we are not just responsible to ourselves. We must acknowledge that God is the true and only owner of our lives. God loves us so much that He gives us the freedom to make decision on what we would like to do in this life. However, we are only a tenant. God is the owner.
