THEME:
You can free yourself from the need to control everything and from the pressure of trying to accumulate more and more possessions. You can also let go of the pressure that is inherent in trying to impress others. Freedom comes when you release the most precious things in your life to God. As a citizen of heaven, you can then learn to give God the very best of everything.
