MAXIMIZE YOUR GIFTS

Thursday of the Sixteenth Week in Ordinary Time Matthew 13:10-17 “For to those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.” My dear friends the gospel of today is reminding us that if we use properly what God has entrusted to us it will lead us to the place filled with milk and honey. When we maximize what God has entrusted to us for His glory we are doing what we are fulfilling our purpose and mission in life. If the Lord entrusted us something, we have the responsibility to use it as best as we can or else it will be taken away from us. God has given each of us a gift from His great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well for others. Friends if we operate our resources like our potentials, talents, gifts and capability we will swim in the stream of blessings. Never mind if it is meager and insufficient just raise your trust on Him. Never tired to open your eyes and listen to God. “Commit to the Lord whatever you do and He will establish your plans and direct your steps.” (Proverbs 16:3,9) As an ordained minister the gospel of today reminded me that the gift of priesthood is not a special power to enjoy but a responsibility to carry on. My responsibility is to protect my place and its people from defilement. It is my duty to remind people not to forget God. It is my task to safeguard my people from the plague and horror of diabolic attacks. Friends, it is your task too. Sometimes we don’t understand what we heard, we dont perceived what we see but never be disappointed but rather continue ask the Grace from the Lord to give us the needs we deserve. Lord you are the source of life in you we trust. Friends do not forsake the fountain of living water. Attune your life to abundance by recognizing the Lord. There is fountain inside you folks. Do not walk around with an empty bucket. Lord thank you that you make my life bursting with infinite blessings. Blessings Fr. Jhack
