got follower!! :D

hello my dear follower~ :D

LOL...

anyways here's something I got on Thursday night while I was going back to sleep in bunk:

everyone with faith will get something from God. Because God has promised. The question will be how much you'll receive from Him. How good it is will be how much are you keeping Christ's standards in your life.

Like the parable of the talents in the Bible, God gave us standards for us to achieve while living a life of obedience. We are to go out and use what God has given and invest them. There was no specific instructions given to how should the servants use the money they had received from the master but they are held responsible for it.

The hardworking servant did his very best and doubled his money.

The second servant, though not trusted with as much as the most hardworking servant, did his very best and came back with 4 talents.

The third servant was not as trust-worthy as the other 2 servants, so he received 1 talent. He was obedient to his master's words and was afraid to lose it all. He understands that the master demands only the best and he cannot afford to make any mistakes. He hid the money away and nothing else happened. He didn't even want to put the money in a bank so that the master would came back and see his money grow with interest.

The master came back and demanded to see the 3 servants. Of the 2 who worked, he praised them and gave them a promotion. Of the one who was so afraid that he might lose the money he remanded and drove him out of the house. He told the servant who play it safe, that it is a terrible way to live like that. If he knows that his master demands the best, the least he could do is to put it in the bank rather than hiding it underground.

All 3 servants kept their master's standard. We can see this by how they managed to have the original amount of money they had in the beginning. All 3 received something from him. However it was how much the standard was kept that managed to get them a promotion or a demotion.

To the one who kept the minimum standard he taught him that it is not right to live this way. Though he was cast out of his master's house, he was not beaten to death and that means when he sobers up, he could come back to his master's house and serve him again
