What does commitment means to you?
What does it mean to shoulder the responsibility given to you?
Will you bear to cross the line to be offensive when necessary to safeguard and exercise what you have been given responsibility for? Or rather than being offensive, to be defensive by sacrificing yourself and having the possibility losing the thing entrusted to you?
Just like the servants with the 5 talents, 2 talents and the 1 talent. The servants of the 5 and the 2 talents took responsibility of the talents, traded and doubled the talents.
What about the servant with the 1 talent? He hid and buried the talent underground coz' he knew that it would be safe as that would not be stolen by anyone. (Seemed responsible enough rite?)
But when it was time to return to the master, the master rebuked that servant and took that 1 talent away from him for what he did.
If we translate it to real life, what if God has given us a talent and told us to be responsible for it by growing it and all we did is to ensure we keep it safe for God by not exercising it? And on judgement day we come before God and He ask us what did we do and realised nothing was done except 'burying' our talent. how angry will He be such that He takes that away from us, even in Heaven?
I don't dare to imagine that really...
So what does leading a life being committed and responsible means to you?
Keep that thought on. :)
