God Multiplies My Talents, February 10
Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a
few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy
of thy lord.
Matthew 25:21
.
God has given us talents to use for Him. To one He gives five talents, to
another two, and to another one. Let not him who has but one talent think to
hide it from God. The Lord knows where it is hidden. He knows that it is doing
nothing for Him. When the Lord comes, He will ask His servants, What have you
done with the talents I entrusted to you? And as he who received five and he who
received two tell Him that by trading they have doubled their talents, He will say
to them, “Well done, good and faithful servant. Thou hast been faithful over a few
things, I will make thee ruler over many things.... Enter thou into the joy of thy
Lord.” Thus He will say also to him who has improved the one talent lent him....
To him who has but one talent I would say, Do you know that one talent,
rightly used and improved, will bring to the Lord one hundred talents? How? you
ask. Use your gift in the conversion of one man of intellect, who sees what God
is to him, and what he should be to God. Let him place himself on the side of
the Lord, and as he imparts the light to others, he will be the means of bringing
many souls to the Saviour. Through the right use of one talent one hundred souls
may receive the truth. It is not to those who have the greatest number of talents to
whom the “Well done” is spoken, but to those who in sincerity and faithfulness
have used their gifts for the Master....
There is a great work to be done in our world, and we are accountable for
every ray of light that shines upon our pathway. Impart that light, and you will
receive more light to impart. Great blessing will come to those who use their
talents aright.
