Daily Readings: Revelation 4:1-11; Luke 19:11-28
Anything that is good requires hard work and patient waiting. Nothing truly great comes by chance. The same is true for holiness—it requires great sacrifice and dependence on God’s Providence.
The good news is that the Lord has given us the capital to do hard work and bear good fruit. He wants us to use our gifts and invest them in our daily mission so that we may grow them, not only for our benefit but so others may also benefit from the fruit of our hard work.
When we take our mission seriously, we will face many obstacles. There is much self-giving, emptying, and sacrifice involved. We may question ourselves with 'what ifs' and doubts, especially since we don’t always see immediate results. But the Lord always sees our holy efforts. In the end, He will hold us accountable for how we used all the blessings He entrusted to us to bless others.
How have you invested in your God-given gifts? Do you use them for your own good or for the good of others? Remember, it is in sharing our gifts that we grow God’s investment in us.
A Call to Action for Catholic Living: Holiness requires hard work, sacrifice, and trust in God’s Providence. Are you using your gifts for your benefit or to bless others? Embrace your mission with faith, overcoming doubts and obstacles. By sharing your gifts, you grow God’s investment in you. How will you invest your gifts today?
Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), a media platform of the Catholic Church, aims to share Christ. RVA started in 1969 as a continental Catholic radio station to serve Asian countries in their respective local language, thus earning the tag “the Voice of Asian Christianity.” Responding to the emerging context, RVA embraced media platforms to connect with the global Asian audience via its 21 language websites and various social media platforms.
