TODDLER'S CREED
If I want it, it's mine.
If I give it to you and change my mind later, it's mine.
If I can take it away from you, it's mine.
If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
If it's mine, it will never belong to anyone else,
no matter what.
If we are building something together,
all the pieces are mine.
If it looks just like mine, it is mine.
Anyone who has ever known a toddler knows the truth of that creed.
We expect to see this trait in toddlers, but we despise it when it's seen in adults.
It's called covetousness.

Are you allowing the Lord Jesus Christ to create in you a new, giving heart?
Or are you still following the "Toddler's Creed"?
