People Are Not Possessions

•     But once you start viewing that other person as a possession or someone that you own and you have the right to dominate over or tell them what to do every second or how to do it, then you're crossing over to ownership, it's kind of like a either a Parent-Child relationship or like a Master-Slave ownership.
•     I think a lot of times, relationships break apart because fear comes in, Oh, you're gonna take what I have. But you can't have people, you can't own people, and any time fear is coming into a relationship, that's when it needs to be checked because it's not love. I don't know if you've heard that. Fear is the opposite of love. But it really is. It is because in the Bible, it says, love drives out all fear.
•     So if you just own that and know that truth, then you won't be afraid that people are going to desert you, that that person is going to take that person and they're never going to be there for you. Just get out of that fear mentality and loosen your grip on people and because when you do tighten up on them and try to possess them, that does not feel good to that person, and that's when they're going to be uncomfortable and they're going to go.
•     I think it's a good point just to say that act out of love always, and you won't be in a fair mentality, you won't think that things are going to be taken away. Because if someone wants to go, then they should be free to go. And if you love them in a pure, whole-hearted way, that's just from the heart, they're gonna wanna stay.
