What is MINE to do?

Mine designates possession. The thing that belongs to me can be a gift or inherit but none the less, I am responsible for it. If a possession is left idle, rust and moths can get at it; thieves easily pick it away from the owner.
Two important ideas must be realized about MINE:

1) MINE has to be claimed. Joy, peace, patience, the Love of Christ is MINE if I claim it. Call it to me and believe with faith and conviction that these gifts are (w)holy mine to have.

2) Be responsible with this possession. The next step is to figure out how to use the MINE in a way that shares and blesses others. Money in a can in the ground is worthless in the world. Likewise are the talents, character qualities, strengths that I can claim when I minimize them or let fear keep them hidden. However, when invested into relationships, jobs, vocations, worship, these possessions will multiply and be blessed. What is “mine” will become more in order to be able “to do” more.
