11-11-2017 – A Word to the Wise: Human possessiveness is a misplaced sense of ownership. No one in any relationship owns another person. Man attempts to acquire ownership by glamorizing the idea of “belonging” in marriage or other relationships. The Lord never intended for men and women to belong to each other. God meant for a man and woman to function together in harmony as one, just as the parts of our body function in harmony. Possessiveness will cripple and eventually destroy all relationships. The deepest yearning in every human being is for a “sense of belonging” but it must be fulfilled in God. If it is displaced to a person it spawns much unhappiness.
