Faithfulness

"The master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful in handling this small amount; I will put you in charge of many things. Let's celebrate together!'" (Matthew 25:23)

I want to be faithful with what God has given me. I want to invest my talents and abilities in the Kingdom—serving in my church, in my home, my friends & neighbors, etc.—there is great joy and satisfaction found in using my "natural resources" for His purposes! I want to be faithful with the responsibilities He has given me—being a wife, being a mom, my health (eating & exercise), etc. I also want to be faithful with my time—how I use it—and the situations I get into—by making right choices.

This is no easy task! The "easiest" way I can see to be faithful with my life is to ask God what He wants me to do, and then do it! (Seems to me this directly relates to a person's life focus: am I living for me or am I living for God?)
