Mathew 25: 14-30 (Saturday, September 1, 2007)

God has blessed us with so many gifts. The reason he has given us these gifts is that we might use them and build up the kingdom of God. God, however, has also given us the freewill to use these gifts as we wish. Some people have truly used these gifts to build up the body of Christ, others have been lukewarm since after their confirmation. For others, confirmation is their send off from the church, we see them again only during their wedding ceremony, when they come to please their parents and grandparents. One fact that we cannot run away from is that, one day we would be held accountable for how we spent the talents God gave to us. Those who truly used them to build up the kingdom of God, they would be rewarded abundantly and those who were so selfish that they kept their talents to themselves, hell would be their reward.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit of God, inspire us that we might know the gifts we have received from God. Come and help us to use these gifts to build up the body of Christ here on earth.
