Are We Using Our Talents Well?
We have a new life in Jesus, are we making a difference?
As we come closer to the end of the Liturgical Year, we move our thoughts to the end of time. Many people think about getting for the End Times, but Jesus reminds us to Live Ready! This is important in the Parables of Jesus, and it is also important for our Wholistic Health!
Live Ready!
The Master gives talents:
“For it will be as when a man going on a journey called his servants and entrusted to them his property; to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability.”
Matthew 25:14-15
For us let us call the talent love.
In the Gospel selection we see the Master return and evaluate his servants. He is happy with two and upset with one. The key is what they did with what they were given.
The ones who used the talents they received and multiplied them were rewarded. The one who buried the talent that was lent to him, lost everything!
If the talent we have is the capacity to love, we must not bury it!
Or as Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change!”.
As we enter Thanksgiving Week here in the U. S., there will be challenges. As we enter the end of the Liturgical Year 2023 and are reminded to be ready for the End Times, one key take away is do not bury the talents that the Master has lent to us! The Master expects us to be fruitful!
Do not bury Love! Use it well and unselfishly!
