It All Belongs To You

For all things are yours: whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come—all are yours. 1 Corinthians 3:21–22 (NKJV)

‍

Did God create laughter just for certain people? No, He wants us all to enjoy life. Did God create healing only for some? No, God wants us all to be healthy and whole. Did God create life as something to be endured? No way! God not only made everything good for us, but it all belongs to us!

First Corinthians 3:21–22 says that all things are yours. Verse 23 says, “And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s” (NKJV). In other words, everything belongs to you, you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

Every promise of God belongs to you: a great family, a healed body, laughter and joy in your home, a life that’s exciting, the ability to solve problems, and the power to fulfill your purpose and true desires of your heart.

You can experience all that is yours, but it takes more than hope. It takes faith. And faith kicks in when you become so convinced of something that it starts seeming normal to you. That’s when you know you’re in faith. Keep studying and learning until the idea of being completely healthy seems normal to you. Keep building hope until you can imagine your future filled with prosperity. When God’s promises seem normal to you, you believe the best. You believe your health and finances will always keep growing and getting better—and if there’s a problem, you’re confident it will be solved.

You don’t have to worry about the future. God prepared a great future for you, and it belongs to you.
