Yes, He is coming and there will be a question and answer discussion between us and the Lord of the Universe. So I was thinking about the Lord and me, standing before His throne. You know the story of the Master that gave his slave talents, then when he returned He wanted to know what you did to make His investment grow? I would like to be able to say to Him something like this...
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.’ Matthew 25:22
What Are You Doing With Your Talents?
So, I had to ask myself: What am I doing with the talents God has given me? As I reflected on this, I realized that among the gifts He has entrusted to me, programming and survival skills stand out as the most impactful. These are the tools He placed in my hands, and when He returns, I want to be able to say, “Lord, You gave me the talents of programming and survival, and I used them to reach thousands with Your message.” My goal is to ensure that what He entrusted to me was not wasted but multiplied for His glory.
The Responsibility
As the Elect, we bear a profound responsibility, don’t we? I can’t help but imagine standing before the Master, empty-handed, knowing He entrusted me with talents—gifts meant to be multiplied, not buried. And as I wait in line, hearing the one before me recount a long list of works done in His name, I would be filled with a sobering realization: What will I say?
Have I truly done all I could to advance His message in the world? No matter how much I strive, I don’t think I will ever feel fully satisfied with my report to Him. There will always be one more soul to reach, one more act of love to give, one more way to serve. The weight of this calling presses on me daily, driving me forward, because when that moment comes, I want to be found faithful.
Confidence
Without making excuses or taking the easy way out, my confidence is in the Master. As long as I give everything I have—pouring myself out in faithful service—I trust in His mercy. I’ve stumbled along the way, made mistakes, and fallen short, but I refuse to let failure define me. Instead, I am failing forward, learning, growing, and pressing on with unwavering commitment.
The Didichet
I am very thankful for the Didichet that the early Christians shared with us. I stick to it and it just feels good, like I am accomplishing something as a Christian. Faith without works is dead. I really cannot think of anything else I would rather do than spend my time in His service. It is the most rewarding work that I have ever done.
