Matt 25:14-30
The Lord entrusted spiritual gifts to each of His children according to his or her ability. He loves His children all in the same way, for He gave His only begotten Son for their salvation.
In fact, one can say that the one who received only 1 talent had the easiest task of all. He only had to gain 1 more to double it. Maybe it was only a kind word to someone in need, to build them up and not break them down with slander and gossip.
If you're not faithful in that which God has entrusted to you with, then you're on the same road as this unfaithful servant. But if you're faithful in small things He will make you ruler over many things. Nothing we have is our own; He has given us everything we have.
Consider your life, whether you're faithful. Are you faithful in guarding your heart against sin (ps 119:11)? May you be faithful in the work God has entrusted you with, even if you consider it to be small in comparison to what others are responsible for.
Maybe you're not called to preach, but when something blesses you out of God's Word, share it with a preacher, so that he can share it with others, and you'll receive the blessing.
Each and every Christian must live a spotless life, be an example to others and be faithful; otherwise you further the cause of the devil.
Many people pray that God would fill them with His Holy Spirit, but they remain disobedient and unfaithful in the gifts God has entrusted them with. If you're unfaithful with the gifts God has given you, He will not give you His true Riches (Luke 16:10-11).
