[Scriptures] Matthew 25:14-30
14) “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them.
15) To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,[a] each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.
16) The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more.
17) So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more.
18) But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
19) “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.
20) The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’
21) “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
22) “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’
23) “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
24) “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.
25) So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’
26) “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?
27) Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
28) “‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags.
29) For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.
30) And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Hallelujah! I bless you to be filled abundantly with the love of the eternal Holy Father God and the peace of the Holy Son.
Everyone, do you have HOPE? Do you want to fulfill that hope? In order for you to fulfill 'your hope,' God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son gave‘ each of you a 'life of hope' through the WORD. This is like giving you 'all the ingredients' so you will cook food. Cooking should be done by you.
You must cause hope to rise in yourself by hearing the WORD, putting forth effort, and taking action yourself. Then a 'history of hope' will happen and so YOU can become 'your own hope.' HOPE comes from 'thoughts and deeds.'
If your thoughts are in the wrong state, even if you possess the 'components for hope and ingredients for hope' that God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son give you, those things will not be hope to you. Also, if you do not take action, even if you do have the 'components for hope, ingredients for hope,' because you do not take action on them, you cannot fulfill the hope. Therefore, it is a life of hope as much as you have made your THOUGHTS, DEEDS, BRAIN-CONSTITUTION, AND BODY-CONSTITUTION well. Also, it is a life of hope as much as you possess perfect thoughts and take action on them.
If you, yourself, don't take action, you cannot have hope in yourself. So you will live a life devoid of hope. By hurrying up and taking action and making yourself, you must give yourself hope and make ‘hope’ come alive. If you take action twice as much as you are doing in the present. 'Your hope' will be fulfilledyou and a 'miraculous history' will happen.
The 'components for hope' are given to you by GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND THE HOLY SON.Each of you has hope called YOURSELF. If you take action, it will happen.The 'components for hope' are given to you by GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND THE HOLY SON.
The person who should fulfill that hope by receiving those components for hope and taking action, is YOU, YOURSELF.
The 'blessings that the Trinity give you' are the BLESSING OF THOUGHTS, the BLESSING OF DEEDS. So it is for you to receive those blessings and diligently take action using those 'components for hope,'
People who don’t have hope should pray to the Holy Son asking Him to give you ‘materials for hope’ and receive them, should pray asking for ‘blessings of thoughts and deeds’ and receive them, and once you have received them, you must take action on them. If you do, your hope will come true in reality.
