" Everything I have comes from God. I am a steward, that is – manager of what belongs to God (which includes my very self). Jesus teaches in this parable that I should manage these gifts with an eye to the future – a future that extends beyond death to a life that lasts forever. With all that in mind, how am I investing the gifts God has given me? "
