A Worthy Steward?

Ever get the feeling that you are just not fulfilling your destiny?

I've been feeling that way lately, and it's got me thinking. In the parable of the talents (so called), each servant was given a different amount, and each was required to produce a generous return on their Lord's investment in them. A powerful comment was made by the Lord when the lazy servant was approached, which stops me in my tracks...

He told the servant who had hidden his money out of fear and hadn't produced any return on the investment that he "Should've at least put his money in the bank where it would at least have earned interest."

I wonder if I'll ever leave the bank.

The bank is fine -- and it is better than nothing -- but it is not where the Lord wants us to remain; and personally, it's not where I want to remain! What if me gathering with small groups, ministering in the simple gifts God has given me, praying here and there for the saints, mentoring a few young ones, giving the first part of all my increase to the work of the Lord and to the needy, and just working and living the rest of the time is little more than putting HIS money in the bank to earn interest?

Maybe I'm not giving my current "ministry" enough credit here, but there's got to be more than this. Perhaps me truly reaching my potential is more than this. Maybe there's a special work that God has called me to do that I have not realized and moved into yet... Or maybe this discontenment is from the Lord because He is getting ready to do something amazing! Or perhaps something very trying... Perhaps something no one would have ever guessed.

All I know is that I have so much more to offer, and up to this point I have lacked the opportunity to show it...
