Not Many But Much

It is a strange temptation for those who are talented to think that they need to do much in the service of the Kingdom. To whom much is given, much is asked but sometimes that "much" which is asked is the humility to accept that what is being asked is "not much" (and seemingly unworthy of their talents) or (worse) that nothing is being asked of them at all. The point is not to do much in the service of the Kingdom but to do that which is asked.

Oftentimes what God asks is not for them to do great things but to love those around them and their responsibilities no matter how seemingly insignificant in the greater scheme of things; and to love not many more (to scale up, so to speak), but to love the few entrusted to them much more.
