A one talent manager should have the heart of a five talent manager.
Resources are to be managed as a gift on loan. The Master is so amazing that we want to multiply His resources for His Kingdom. We don’t ignore His resources, and we are not covetous of another’s holdings. We make the most of what has been given with the time that has been allotted.
The Manager is good and kind, patient and understanding, forgiving and forgetting.
He has good plans for the one talent manager as He does the five talent manager.
The goal is to be fruitful and multiply. Turn one talent into two. When there is two, we are no longer a one talent manager but rather a two talent manager.
The goal is to leave this life at least a two talent manager by making much of the one.
For me the one represents one wife, two children, one house, one renter, one 9 – 5, one small church.
There is freedom and peace in the simplicity of being faithful and fruitful with one.
