In life, we have possessions and belongings.
When we look at what we have, some thoughts may come to our minds.
There are some things that we yearn to get our hands on.
But after we had gotten it, the excitement lasts a while and now it is left around or forgotten in the storeroom.
Some things were pleasant surprises, and though it may not mean that much to us initially, yet we have kept it close to us and we admit that it has become precious to us.
So it can be said that what belongs to us will come to us.
On the other hand, what does not belong to us will never be ours.
In the first reading, the wicked Athaliah seize control and took power by killing all those of royal stock.
But ill-gotten gains will never last and the final price to pay for it was death.
In the gospel, Jesus said to His disciples: Do not store up treasure for yourselves on earth, but to store up treasures for yourselves in heaven.
Whatever we need, God will give to us. It is not a belonging but a blessing from God.
And the greatest blessing is when we know we need only Jesus.
We belong to Him and it is with this blessing that we will be happy on earth and eternally happy in heaven.
