Is it necessary? Is it useful? Does it bring joy to you? Those are questions we ask to determine what we hold on to: stuff (materials goods), relationships, and even memories. We naturally want to protect those things that bring us the most joy. We should want to preserve them and share them. Most of all, we want to experience them, because they bring delight.
From God’s viewpoint, everything He created including you and me bring Him great joy. You can find assurance in knowing that God wants to preserve and protect us.
