We, who belong to Jesus, are living in the most wonderful relationship possible. He bought us with his blood. We no longer have the right to our lives because our lives are now totally in the hands of God. Sin and temptation have no right to us. We do not even have the right to give ourselves over to sin.
God also has taken the responsibility for our lives. We no longer should worry because our lives no longer belong to us but to God. He commands us in 1 Peter 5:7 to cast all our worries and anxieties on Him. Our Burdens now belong to Jesus and not to us. Everyone who will simply trust in Jesus Christ is now free.
Do you get offended? Do people ever persecute you? Are you made fun of? God created you and knows you intimately. When you belong to Jesus, those who come against you are now coming against God instead. Do not be offended by people, because you belong to Jesus Christ, your bridegroom. He will stand with you in all the trials the enemy throws at you. In the end, God says "Revenge is mine" Can you think of a greater punishment for those poor people who harass you than the wrath of God?"
I am His because I love Him. I gave myself to Jesus because I wanted too. I wanted to give the love of my soul everything. I do not want to hold anything back from him. It is a joy to give of myself to my Lord Jesus. What I receive in return is worth more than a thousand lifetimes.
"For in Him we live and move and exist,..." Acts 17:28a
