Invest The Gifts That You Received

Good day.
.
The reading today tell us about employer and employees. Symbolizes God and Us. The employer entrusted his employees with "talents" (I think it is the same as money in our days). It means that God gave us gifts and grace. The employer went away for some time leaving the employees with different amount of "talents" to handle them. God gave each of us with different gives and talents. He let us live with that gifts for some time. Some employee go and invest the "talents" that his employer entrusted them with. Those with 5 "talent" produces another 5 and the same goes to those with 2 "talents" which give another 2. There is this one employee who I can say "lazy and scared" until he bury the "talents" in the ground so that it will be safe. Same goes for us human. The gifts that God gave us, some people utilize them to produce bigger and greater results depending on what gifts that they had. But there are some people out there, who would not do anything about the gifts they had received. I can say that they are selfish and self-centered person. I don't want to say they are lazy because they still are doing something. Just that, it's only for their own good and their never think about using the gifts of God to help others. They hide the gifts in their ground so that only they know about it. They thought it will be safer this way.
.
But when the employer a.k.a Master came! When God comes to us!
.
Those employees who had grow the "talents" received from their employer get rewards and was acknowledged. The employee that hide the "talents" in the ground was punished. There will be time when God will come and see whether we had put into good use the gifts He gave us. That time, He will separate the worthy and unworthy people. Worthy of what? It's about worthiness of living inside the Kingdom Of God.
.
So, where do you want to be at that judgment day? Everyone of us have the gift at least one. Please put it into good use and not become selfish.
.
Let us Grow In Faith Together.
