"The Father loves the son and has given all things into His hand" (John 3:35).
As a gift of love, the Father has given everything to Jesus. You and I are included in the "everything" and thus are given to Jesus. We are not given to Jesus like a new car (one of many), but more like a new bride (unique and special). "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven" (John 3:27). As a gift to Christ we are to be consumed by Christ--loved, cherished, and treasured.
Today, remember that you belong to Jesus and He has assumed the role of husband--your protector and provider.
