A mum and her baby
When a baby is born it belongs to its mother. It belongs to her because it is her baby. No one else can say, ‘That is my baby!’ This is also true of a brother and sister. No one else can say, ‘That is my brother or that is my sister!’ Why? Because brothers and sisters are born of the same mother. They belong to her and through her they belong to each other. So we say, ‘That is my sister, my brother or my mother. No one can say, ‘That is my father!’ Why? Because your father belongs to you and you belong to him.
BUT:
Belonging to someone does not mean you own them does it?
The bible says, ‘The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it; for he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the rivers..’ (psalm 24:1)
That is the reason we do not own anyone. Your mum and dad, your brothers and sisters, your granddad and grandma, do not own you and you do not own them. Your belong to them because they are all related to you by birth and by being a family. Also, the government of your country does not own you. That is why you are born free to grow up and live your own life.
Only God, your Father in heaven owns you, and only he knows how to care for you because you are his creation.

All the people in this picture are a family. They belong to each other. But they do not own each other for they are born free to love and obey God first before anyone else. God has given you a life like his own. He wants you to learn in his school to live a good life and to be the person he has made you to be. But above all else he wants you to know and love him and all your family.
God sent his Son Jesus Christ to live on earth to set you an example of how to live. He came to save you from sin and foolishness. The life of Jesus is God ‘s school for all boys and girls.

Jesus loves all his children for they are his. He gives them to us to care for on earth and protect them from harm.
