God has given each of us a wide variety of gifts and talents and today’s gospel is a clear message that the Lord expects us to use these gifts to serve others and do our part to build up the Kingdom of heaven.
It is not acceptable to waste our gifts by putting them on a shelf, allowing fear to stop us from doing our part within our own communities of faith and beyond. It is not important to have all the gifts and talents, or to compare our gifts to others, but it is important to do our best to use the gifts God has given us.
How will you share your gifts and talents with others this week? Perhaps we can begin with thanking God for our gifts and finding ways to show a bit more kindness to others. I know if I am blessed enough to reach heaven, I want to hear, “Well done my good and faithful servant.”
Have a blessed day!
