“We belong to God; we are His sons and daughters,—His by creation and His by the gift of His Only Begotten Son for our redemption. Ye are not your own; for ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. The mind, the heart, the will, and the affection belong to God; the money that we handle is the Lord’s. Every good that we receive and enjoy is a result of divine benevolence.” Counsels on Stewardship, 72.TithPG 6.3
