12 He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’
14 “But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’
15 “He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it.
16 “The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’
17 “‘Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’
18 “The second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned five more.’
19 “His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’
20 “Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21 I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’
22 “His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? 23 Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’
24 “Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
25 “‘Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
26 “He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 

Luke 19:12-26



We had our sunday school class today, and it was an interest heads up, and reminder. Basically the story talks about a master giving his servants, money to see what they'll do with it. Some use it wisely and invests and brings back ten times its worth, and some fail and just do nothing with it, hiding it under cloth.


Similar to our lives, God has given us gifts, and blessings, education, friends, opportunities, jobs, healthcare, so much more. But it truly is what we do with it that counts. Will we invest in it and let it grow? Or will we just push it aside?


As Christians, we're called to love and help others in need, but for us to help others, especially at this age, its hard. But for us to be able to do that in the future, we must be in a position of authority, we have to be influential, and be a leader. The only way for that to happen is to get a good job, for instance, Apple, changing the world of technology, vs Pepsi, sugared water. To get a good job, we have to do well in university, and for us to get into the program we want, and to do well there, we need to do well in high school. So start now, and build your way up into making that change. 


Love what you do because your attitude determines your altitude.


So will you be the one that invests and makes their master proud? or will you be the stubborn one that does nothing with the gifts he's blessed with? Its your choice.


verse of the day: Romans 12:6
We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
