When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required. -Luke 12:48 (NLT)
MUCH IS EXPECTED WHEN THEY HAVE MUCH
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you ever experienced an overflow of blessings?
Did you wonder where and why it kept on coming?
There is a responsibility that comes with all gifts
Much will be required in return for all these things.
When someone is given and entrusted much
They will be expected to share and have more trust
No need to keep and hoard it and continue to be passive
Grow it! Boldly share your gifts in order to be progressive.
________________________________________Since my early thirties up to now, I have had an overflow of gifts from God. Maybe I have had them even in my early years and probably my whole life. I just didn’t recognize them at all because I was wrapped up in the circumstances that was presented to me during the different stages of my life. I think that in my early thirties, I re-committed myself to God and that’s when I saw his perspective. I was driven to share the natural gifts and abilities I had for communication, teaching, the Visual, Musical and Literary Arts. God had a plan all along. The bible says that when someone has been given much, much is required from them as well.
PRAYER
Help me to do what you want for your kingdom for the overflow you gave me.
REFLECTION
What has God given you that needs to be returned?
