Improving Our Opportunities as God's Talents

Every opportunity of performing a right action is a direct gift of God, a talent given us to be improved into a blessing, or, failing in improvement, to be withdrawn from us as any other talent unemployed. We read there is a scattering that increaseth, and a withholding that tendeth to poverty. The practice of any virtue soon grows into a confirmed grace; ways and means for its exercise will be sought for instead of avoided; and, at last, the accumulation of the talent will be to our own enrichment.
