Did you count that Christ died for you, sent Holy Spirit to be with you and in you, and gave His Holy Word that you could discover, for yourself, truths to your rich inheritance?

If you can consider that you've been given much, then might this verse have also been written for you?

"And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes ... for unto whomsoever much is given, of him, much shall be required," Lu. 12:47-48.

Paying very special attention to Jesus' words, you may notice He didn't say God would beat you. Could it be that you would've done it to yourself?

It is exciting to see what Jesus does with our feeble efforts. We soon discover we are one most blessed! When faithful in little things, He empowers us to do so much more (Mt. 25:21)!

One day we will look back to remember where we came from and be amazed at how much we have grown (Jn. 15:2). Though we will know it really happened only because Jesus began to live through us.

Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift (II Co. 9:15).
