Boss Truth #20
USE YOUR TALENTS
OR LOSE THEM
“For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.” (Matthew 25:29)
The Parable of the Talents is a story about the use and underuse of gifts and talents. The parable tells us the talents were distributed “to each according to his own ability.” We all don’t have the same abilities, but each one of us has our own, and each one of us has responsibility to use the abilities we have been given. The story begins with a man who was given five talents – he worked with what he had, used them all, and gained five more. Likewise, the man with only two talents, worked with the little he had and gained two more talents. Lastly there was the man given one talent, who did absolutely nothing with it. The servant’s master was upset with the one-talent man, not because he didn’t develop as many talents as the others, but because he had done nothing with what he was given.
I believe you have amazing gifts inside you, but some are afraid to explore and add to them because of the fear of failure. Some people compare themselves to others who are multi-talented, and are convinced they can never be like them. The truth is, the Lord will never expect you to do more than what you are able–only to do the best with what He has given you. Don’t worry about others around you–focus on yourself. If you have that one thing going for you, work it like nobody’s business.
