Talents

And with heavy consecutive rhythmic thuds, my heart beat;
Silently yet so loudly;
The world around me was slowly tuning out;
Its like people were there but they weren't;
But for my dealings, every other thing dimmed to a blur;
And with each search movement my heart skipped two beats;
I'm searching a bit slowly;
Ten bits anxiously;
For the horror of not finding;
And as I make my way to the very last place there is to search;
With a very heavy and palpitating heart...
With anxiousness at its tip....

Behold! There lies the lost!
That ecstatic feeling, I now feel;
I'm happy now, so happy;
When it was there, it seemed like nothing;
Now I just lost and found it, it seems like gold.

But then in ten minutes, everything is back to normal;
The not caring, the indifferent feeling...
Have my experience taught me anything?
The answer is not slightly.

My point?
You don't know the value of what you have until you lose it. As humans, we enjoy certain privileges, we get so comfortable and used to it that at some point, we forget the worth and take it for granted. We begin to misuse the gifts that has been given to us, forgetting the part of the scriptures where the man who was given little talent and was not productive with it, had it taken away from him and left with nothing. You do not want to know what it feels like having everything taken away from you. God has given each and everyone of us talents in diverse forms, to some more, to others less, but its not the quantity that matters. What matters is that he expects of us to use it to his glory, no matter how small. Be productive in a way that glorifies the Lord.

You see, in the introduction, I was talking about losing something. I thought I lost my phone and was very happy when I found it. I found it. You see, the difference is that here, once its being taken away from you, you don't get it back! You lose it! Its lost forever! You don't find it.

I would just round up by saying to whom anything whatsoever has been given, something no matter how little is expected. Because on the last day, you gonna have to answer a question,  and when that question comes, I just hope you have the right answer.
