Some of us are very blessed with tons of resources, others don't have them, but the parable of the talents is really on my heart—what are we doing with what we have, and how will our life and choices and priorities look in light of eternity and God's commands?

This verse came to mind: Encouraging. 1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09827641054863919861noreply@blogger.com
