The calling, at the end

After I Corinthians 7:17-24 

Inventory time:

Did you honor me

  with the skills and

   talents I gave you?

Did you honor the parents,

   the teachers, the pastors,

   the authorities I placed

   into your life?

Did you use the skills

   and talents I gave you

   to provide for your family?

Did you use the skills

   and talents I gave you

   to promote the public good?

Were my people’s legitimate

   prayers answered

   through you?
