Frustration, disorder, illness, flow from the experience of isolation. Belonging is personal. God is our Father with all the love and concern that this involves. The Christian never denies this ownership. He approves the things that are more excellent because he belongs to such a wonderful God.
Men get much satisfaction and pleasure out of things they own.
But one is not made to love things, only persons. Things cannot meet our need for oneness. Real life is found in the quality of the people to whom we belong and who belong to us. It is persons who make the difference. It is possible to own many fine things, and yet be the loneliest person in the church or the community.
