Time, Talents, Treasure
 
In a moment of sanctuary solitude,
The spirit spoke in a heart-whisper.
Then, in a thundering bellow, it assaulted my ears.
Immobilized, I waited.
 
“Give your precious time,” it murmured.
“Time to help, to plan, to dream.
Thinking time.
Reasoning time,” it bellowed again.
 
It whispered anew. “I know your talents.
You keep them secret from but a few.
Reveal and export your talents.
I crave your talents in actions,” it bellowed once more. 
 
A last whisper: “Though your treasure is meager,
a portion I need.
For it sustains, permitting growth and Christian works.
It bellowed yet again: “Do not hoard your treasure, when my needs are great.”
 
I sat serenely.
Although intended for me,
let the congregation hear this message.
Allow your ears, hearts, and minds to respond.
