Reflection on Today’s Gospel Matthew 25: 14 – 30
What changes would be required for you to be more satisfied with your life’s investment?
What help do you need to use your talents in a way that “Measures up”?
help from God to overcome fear
help from God to believe in myself
help from others to see my talents
for others not to be so hard on me
for me not to be so hard on myself
to take responsibility more seriously
What motivates you to use your time, resources, and abilities for God’s kingdom?
If the Master returned today, how much of your
talents and potential would he say you are using for him right now?
