DAY THIRTY-SIX – Tuesday, April 12, 2022
Matthew 25:14-30
In this parable the talents refer to the gifts God has given us, be it helping others, tending to the needy, sharing goods or other such talents. Some people do this easily and others are too intimidated by the “master.” Confidence in oneself is needed to use our talents for fear we will fail. Most overcome this fear and reap the benefits. But there are others who cannot. They are too afraid of the “master” to try and expand their talents. These people miss a great deal of pleasure knowing that they have helped others. They are doomed to darkness. They feel that no matter what they do they will never please the “Master”. They must be encouraged and supported by others so that they can experience the thrill of serving those in need.
