A man travelled abroad and ordered his caretakers to work with his wealth. According to their skills he distributed his money before he left. After a long time, he returned and asked each of them to give an account. Each of them had earned more but one had buried the money and returned it as it was. In anger, the man took the money from the lazy caretaker and gave it to the one who made the most money. Then he asked why he didn’t at least earn interest on the funds. 

For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.

Matthew 25:29

Conclusion: God gives us many talents such as artistic skills, practical talents or strategic thinking, clear communication…. We are to make heavenly “profit” for God’s kingdom and serve others with it in love. 

Which skills has God entrusted to you? How do you use them? 

Scripture of the Week: Matthew 25:14-30 (original text of the analogy)
