· Matthew 25:14–30
The servants receive different trusts, so comparison misses the point of the parable. The urgent question is what we do with the good actually placed in our care. Fear can disguise itself as caution and keep a gift buried. Name one ability, relationship or resource you can use responsibly today. Choose a step suited to your circumstances, without measuring your worth by the size or visibility of the result.
A question to sit with
What good have I left unused because I am afraid it will not be enough?
One small step
Use one gift for a specific person or need, and let the result belong to God.
Pray
Lord, free me from fearful comparison. Make me grateful, courageous and faithful with what You entrust to me. Amen.
