STEEMCHURCH: TALENTS ACCORDING TO YOUR CAPACITY (Video dedicated to @steemchurch)

Matthew 25: 14-30 (RVR1960)

Parable of the talents

14 For the kingdom of heaven is like a man who, going far away, called his servants and gave them his goods.
15 To one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his ability; and then he went away.
16 And he who had received five talents went and bargained with them, and gained another five talents.
17 Likewise he who had received two also won two more.
18 But he who had received one went and dug in the earth, and hid the money of his lord.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants came and arranged accounts with them.
20 And when he that had received five talents came, he brought other five talents, saying, Lord, you delivered to me five talents; here you are, I have gained another five talents on them.
21 And his lord said unto him, Well, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you much; enter into the joy of your lord.
22 And he also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, you delivered to me two talents; here you are, I have gained two other talents on them.
23 His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you much; enter into the joy of your lord.
24 But the one who had received a talent also came and said, Lord, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and picking up where you did not scatter;
25 Therefore I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent on earth; here you have what is yours
26 His lord answered and said to him, You wicked servant and negligent, you knew that I reap where I did not sow, and that I gather where I did not scatter.
27 Therefore, you should have given my money to the bankers, and when I came, I would have received what is mine with the interests.
28 Take away the talent, and give it to him who has ten talents.
29 For whoever has, it will be given, and he will have more; and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

I want to start this post with a beautiful worship which I played with my Violin called"LA VIA DOLOROSA" it talks about the path that our Lord had to take to where he was crucified.

Every time I play this melody I feel the love of God in my life, I hope you can feel the same.

Forgive the scenario, but there was very good acoustics

Now this parable should make us think a lot. Each one of us has a special talent, or many, that God has given us. What do you think your gift is? The first thing we must do is to examine our life, to know what we know how to do better than others. It is not about saying, "I am not good for this or for this other." It is about the opposite, to demarcate everything for which we are really good. Many times being right in something is nothing more than the interest we give to that activity. We tend to slow or slow people who supposedly do not have much intelligence. And that is due in large part to an infinite number of variables that have nothing to do with the brain. For that reason it is necessary that we do an introspection and see what topics interest us more, what activities we enjoy a lot, and that will give us an idea of what we are good at. Ultimately we will know what God put us in this world for.

Yes,because whatever we do can manifest itself in the glory of God. If you write, or paint, or play an instrument. If you are good for manual crafts. If you can fix artifacts. If you speak well, or you are a magnificent and attentive listener. If you can analyze circumstances. The list can be extended infinitely, and all fit perfectly in God's plan for the salvation of the world.

What is not good to do is keep talents for one. It was what the last of the men to whom the master gave the talents did. In some way we must put those gifts to work for the service of others. I know of people with the use of formidable talents, who, because of excuses similar to those of that man in the parable, let us lose immense opportunities to help and help each other.

Christ tells us this parable, certainly to tell us that in the same way that the extraterrestrial goods, such as faith, increase with the use and daily practice, the material goods can also be manifested and increased with investment and perseverance. The one who has will be given, says Jesus. If we pray every day with greater fervor, little by little that prayer will become greater, more constant, stronger. God will assist us to develop that muscle. But if we do not, we will lose the practice, and our prayer will be weak, short and without much effect. In the same way, if we exercise daily, we will stay in shape, and we will be much healthier. To stay lying in bed all day long, the only thing that will produce us is high pressure, depression and other health-related vermin similar to that.

CONCLUSION

Jesus use parables for teachers about our relationship with him. Here in this parable is the Lord God representative who gives each person different abilities the talents that are money in the parable. Some have more capacity than others but God gives them all. Some use what God has given them to glorify Him, but others ignore their relationship with God and the talents that were given to them.

Let's not hide the talent they gave us, even if it seems to be insignificant. Let us do our work with the love of giving it to our fellow human beings, and even if they tell us that we are blessed or that we are this, suffering humiliations for Christ is always the best investment, which will give us the best returns.

and I finish with this question

What talents do I have that I can use to serve the Lord?
