The Gifts God has entrusted to us
in line with the sunday’s gospel…Â
if i began to count the things which i owe to Him i could never finish counting because each added moment of my life is another gift. so the best gratitude which i can offer Him is to use His gifts properly. wherever i look, i see His gifts. whatever i do, i’m using His gift. the least i can do is to make better use of the many gifts which He send me each day & i am expected in continually effort to share these gifts.
we are told by Jesus that“the gift you received, give as a gift.”(Mt 10:8). we need to realise what a tremendous gift we have received in Jesus and we should want to spread this gift around. and furthermore, when we share our gift, we are further blessed. it is Jesus himself who has said,”it is more blessed to give than to receive,”(Acts 20:35). we give, and rather than having less, we have more….
we dont want to end up like the steward whom the master took everything that was entrusted to him coz he had misused them. if we do not exercise proper and prudent stewardship over what belongs to God, we may not receive what should have been rightfully been ours. “if you are not trustworthy with what belongs to another, who will give you whats yours?”(Lk 16:12).
whatever God gave us, He can take that back away from us. you know, whenever i tend to stray away or slacken in appreciating what God has blessed me with, this verse never fails to put me back on track,”…if you do not listen to what i say, I will put a curse on things you’ve received…”.(Mal 2:2)
