How Blessed Will You Be? Poem by Deidre Dixon

Do you want to be the man that God takes from, or who God gives to?

Well, the determination of that will all depend on what you do!

God has given to each one his measure.

Where your heart is will be seen with what you treasure.

Look at the parable of the talents and what each man did with what he received.

Two had faith to do something with what they got, but one buried his because he didn't believe.

The man who got only one talent and buried it had it taken away.

He didn't do anything with what he received, so when it was taken there was nothing he could say.

The talents were multiplied or added to by the other two men.

So the man took the one talent from the servant who hid it, and gave it to the one who doubled his talents to ten.

Why did he give it to the man who had ten and not the man who had two?

There is something to this, so let me explain it to you.

The man with the two talents had an inkling of how he should treat what was given to him.

He took the two talents and added two more to them.

The servant who received the five talents understood that God is a God of multiplication.

His master knew he would gain a greater return on his investment because of this faith identification.

Trust God and He will multiply your blessings and favor, and you will see!

What you do with what God gives you will determine just how blessed you will be!
