2500) When I was in high school, if a couple were dating, the girl would often wear the boy’s class ring on her finger. This was a statement that she “belonged” to another. For many girls, it felt so good to be wanted and “belonging” to someone else. This was a public statement.

In 1 Peter 1:16, God’s children are told to be holy. The Greek word here for holy is hagios, which can be translated to belong exclusively to God. Imagine a God who wants an exclusive relationship with you. Spending time meditating on this will open doors you never knew were closed or even existed.
