I have been given much

A man was driving his Lexus from church one Sunday, praying on his way home. He prayed that he would get the promotion, that time of to take a vacation to Hawaii, and be able to pay off the loan on his car. just then a car pulled out in front of him, forcing him off the road. The next thing the man knew, he was waking up in heaven. Finding himself just outside the pearly gates, he shouted to those inside, requesting if he may meet with Jesus. Jesus soon came out to meet the man. The man was very grateful for all the great things God had been given him and wanted to thanks Jesus, saying "ever since I excepted you into my life, everything has been great!" Jesus paused for a moment and explained "I think you have my words confused for another. There was a reason you were given so much...

You were given youth, so that you may serve the elderly.
You were given education, so that you may teach those who need to learn.
You were given wisdom, to keep others from making wrong choices.
You were given freedom, to speak out against those oppressed.

You were given food, to feed the hungry.
You were given wealth, so that you may give to those poorer than you.
You were given health, to heal those who are sick.
You were given strength, so that you could strengthen the weak.

You were given hands, to help serve your neighbors.
You were given legs, to walk with those in despair.
You were given eyes, to see hope beyond pain.
You were given ears, to here the stories of the suffering.
You were given a voice, to speak on behalf of the voiceless.

Luke 12:47-49 (The Message)
"The servant who knows what his master wants and ignores it, or insolently does whatever he pleases, will be thoroughly thrashed. But if he does a poor job through ignorance, he'll get off with a slap on the hand. Great gifts mean great responsibilities; greater gifts, greater responsibilities!

I've come to start a fire on this earth—how I wish it were blazing right now! I've come to change everything, turn everything right side up—how I long for it to be finished! Do you think I came to smooth things over and make everything nice? Not so...
