We are each given different gifts and talents by our Master. The thing that matters most is how we use what we have been given, not how much we make or do compared to someone else. What matters is that we spend ourselves.

It reminds me that there is so much more to our existence than what we can see. What we do reverberates through the heavens and into eternity.
