Using Our Talents

       Hello all! Time for another blog post & today it will be about using our talents for God. Let me ask you this, do you use your talents well? Take a time a reflect on that, what are you doing with your God given talent? What we should do with our talents is USE IT! We shouldn't let our talents God has given us go to waste! Lets say you got a talent for a sport like basketball. What should you do then? USE it obviously to ball up people with your talent. But now is your motive correct here? We should use our talents for God, as in the example I used if you have the talent in basketball can be, your motive can be like teaching others basketball. You can use your talents to bless other people! Let us not keep our talents to ourself but bless other people not for our selfish motives.

       Like in Matthew 25:13-30 it talks about a man who is leaving for a journey and is entrusting his possessions to his servants & distributes his wealth among 3 servants. 1 servant was received 5 talents, one was received 2, and the other received 1 and the 1st 2 went to work with their money that their master has given them, but then the last servant who received one just buried it in the ground. The 1st servant gained 5 more talents and has gained 10 then the 2nd gained 2 more while the last one did not gain nothing at all saying that his master was a harsh and demanding person that he was afraid of the risk. From this you can see that we should use our talents! We shouldn't use excuses because of some problem we can overcome. God would be happy to see that you are using your God given talents for his kingdom. Instead of hiding our talents let us use it! And as Christians we should help each other like a family when an obstacle is in a way of a goal of one person. So lets stop being lazy, but let us become active not for ourselves, but for God.
