After a long time the master of those servants came back and settled accounts with them. The one who had received five talents came forward bringing the additional five. He said, 'Master, you gave me five talents. See, I have made five more.' His master said to him, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master's joy' (Matthew 25: 19-21).

We have received so much from God. One of the best ways to be grateful is by using our talents to serve others.

Lord, help me to realize that my talents are your gifts to me.
