WORD OF GOD - MK 12:17

MARK 12:17

Jesus said to them, ‘Give to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’ And they were utterly amazed at him.

----mine,

God must have complete autonomy over you however, in His goodness He has given you the gift of free will. Your will is made perfect when you align your will with Mine in all things. What is it that you possess that was not given to you by My heavenly Father? As long as you are in the world learn to discern the things that are required of you as a citizen of the country you belong to and as a citizen of heaven. Too many are ignorant or fail to recognize all that they owe the Father as His children and as members of God's family. Be wise stewards of the gifts you have received and share generously all that has been entrusted to you.
