Law of reciprocate

Taken from the book of Matthew.

"Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more. So also, the one with the two talents gained two more. But the man who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money. "After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. The man who had received the five talents brought the other five. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.' "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' "The man with the two talents also came. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.' "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' "Then the man who had received the one talent came. 'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.' "His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest. "'Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

In this parable, the money is like the live, or everything that God has given us. Each of us is given what we are capable of doing. All the things we have are from God, and it belongs to God, the master. We are just steward of God’s belonging. What we have, we are supposed “invest” or put into good use so that we can generate more of it. Be it money, happiness, friends and live.

In the parable, the servants who “invest” will get back twice as much as he has, but the one who do nothing will have his “money” taken away and given to the one who have more.

If you are not happy with anything, you will not be happy with everything. If you do not have many friends, even your friends will leave you. If you do not appreciate live, live will be taken away from you.

However the good news is. What ever you work on, with what you have, you will be given more. So we should start to appreciate everything that we have because it is from God, and if we don't, it will be taken away from us.

God Bless
