BALANCE
Let not the foot say to the hand because I have only one talent I am not of the body,Because I am not like brother or sister so and soI am not of valueI may not have Gods grace to heal the sickRaise the lepers, cast out demonsBut I can feed the hungry, clothe the poor, take in the strangerComfort the feeble minded, support the weakGive of GODS GRACE given to me.
The man going into the far county gave his goods to the servantsThe talents didn't then become theirsBut they could put them to usury for the owner's gloryAnd add to their valueThe servants gave their gifts to othersWhich might return to them after many daysSo when He returns to take account, other people may say"Lord your talent meant I could do this, or that"
And praise the Lord the giver of perfect giftsIf we put to use what he has given usThe body will be in balanceWithout a tendon or thigh how would it function?It then would need a support or wheel chairOr some other form of legalistic crutchHe wants a healthy bodyPrepared for every good workLike a bride adorned for her husbandA manifestation of his glory His very image on earth.
