God has entrusted each of us with talents, gifts, skills, passions and lives...He does not give us the same ones, because we have been given different roles. However, He expects the same results! Did you notice that? Both of the good servants doubled what they had been given. God provides us purposefully with what we can handle and expects us to use it to our fullest potential, not be paralyzed with fear. His expectations are clear...and Paul reminds us of that in I Cor 10: 31-33~
31 Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 32 Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God; 33 just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved.
