“Well Done”
O God, help us to use well those gifts, abilities, and resources with which you bless us; help us to use them to share your grace, love, and mercy with those we encounter.
Help us also to accept with gratitude the always increasing responsibility that becomes ours as we grow in you and in your grace.
Teach us that “Well done” implies “Now do more” rather than “Now take it easy.”
Amen.
“Then the one who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ And the one with the two talents also came forward, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents; see, I have made two more talents.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’” (Matthew 25:20-23)
