What is a faithful servant?
Being a faithful servant of God means living like you trust God and believe that God knows best how you should live. God wants us to live life with justice, compassion, mercy and hope. If you trust that, you'll try to live like that.
Faithful servants of God know that everything they are and everything they have comes from God, and actually belongs to God, so they try to live in such a way that their lives reflect God's values. We are to love God with everything we've got, love others and love ourselves. When we mess up, we are to face that, admit it, apologize for it and do what we can to repair the damage we've cuased—and then go back to trying to live the way we're supposed to.
