Talents

22 "Then the servant who had been given two bags of gold came to the master and said, 'Master, you gave me two bags of gold to care for, so I used your two bags to earn two more.' 23 The master answered, 'You did well. You are a good and loyal servant. Because you were loyal with small things, I will let you care for much greater things. Come and share my joy with me.'


I'm like this. Except, I'm the guy with one talent. However, I'm different from the guy with the one talent. He decided to not use that, believing that because it was so small that it could not produce something fruitful. So he decided to bury it in the ground.

I look around and there are talented people. There are people with gifts and prophecies that will faithfully bring people to the Lord. They speak clearly, vividly, they love, they live righteous, they have the gift of tongue, dreams, prophecy, etc...

But one thing I know is this: If I'm to live this life knowing my lack of talents, I want to be the guy that puts that one talent in all the way. It's my act of worship to God stating that "I may not have much but I'm willing to give it all to You".

Maybe through this, He will be pleased and be glorified.

I don't even know my one talent. But I do know that whatever it is, I'm willing to give it to the Lord who so faithfully has gifted me with it. I'm thankful that I have that one gift and it will be my praise to deliver his faithfulness back to Him.





So all you gifted people out there.....He deserves all of it; 10, 25, 50, 100 talents.... He's deserving of all of it. Give it to Him so that He may truly be glorified.
