Gifting is what God gives us, but talent is what we do with what we’ve been given! What have we done with what we have been given? The Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25 tells us that God takes this question very seriously. Most like the benefits of talent, but they don’t often like the hard work and responsibility to develop that talent. God wants a return on His investment in our lives. This requires more than just loving God. Whether a homemaker who has been children to steward, or an auto mechanic with gifting to work on cars, we must do all we can to use our talent to serve others and for the glory of God.
