Gospel
Matthew 25:14-30
"For it will be as when a man going on a journey called his servants and entrusted to them his property;
to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away.
He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them; and he made five talents more.
So also, he who had the two talents made two talents more.
But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money.
Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, 'Master, you delivered to me five talents; here I have made five talents more.'
His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.'
And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, 'Master, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two talents more.'
His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.'
He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, 'Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not winnow; so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.' But his master answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not winnowed?
Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest.
So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
For to every one who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.

"The Parable of the Talent"
We are accountable of its talent that God gives us, when he created us its perfect, complete accessories that we; human being has capable to use it. He gives us ability to use the gift. Like the parable in the Gospel, at the end we go back to our creator. The question is, How much could we bring back to Him as the interest or are we the last one mentioned in the parable who came back with the same talent because we did not use it. I am so challenge with the gospel because it encourage me more to find my core gift that God has gave me. Its is clear that everyone of us has talent, maybe its hidden or we are not sure to it. What we need now is whatever we love to do, keep it up, God gives us deferent talent so that its one of us has a unique one, so how come we grumbling, murmuring, complaining envious to each other. So find your core gift and use it for the glory of God.
