Summary

This quote emphasizes that all earthly comforts, including material possessions and blessings, are not truly our own but are ultimately lent to us by a higher power, which is God. It reminds us that we are merely borrowers in this world and should not be possessive or attached to these temporary things. It encourages a sense of gratitude towards the divine source and a recognition that we are not the ultimate owners of anything, but rather stewards entrusted with the gifts we have been given.
