Jesus praises those who live responsibly and they will be trusted with a great deal more. We will receive abundant blessings from God, if we put Him at the centre of our lives. Trust in Him and have courage; do not fear the pain and the price of living for Him and serving Him. God will judge each one of us personally according to our circumstances and according to the graces we have received. Each of us has a mission to fulfill in this life. We have to be faithful to this vocation to the end of our lives. We will be judged according to the fruits, which our efforts have done. God has given each of us many gifts and abundant blessings; they are not meant solely for our benefits, but also for others . Thus, we should use them to help bring love, peace and justice to the lives of others .
Jesus concludes His teaching with this consideration: “Everyone to whom much is given, of him will much be required; and of him to whom men commit much they will demand the more.”
How much has the Lord entrusted to us? How many graces has He conferred on others as a result of our lives? How many people are depending on my correspondence with grace?
