Thank you for reminding me of the talents given to me, I still discover beautiful talents given to me that I simply never thought of possessing! Everyone has talents but not everyone is using their talents. Jesus is stressing the importance of a person using their talents in the Parable of the Talents. A talent is useless unless it is used and there is no one on earth who did not receive a talent. Even an unsaved person has received talents, which are God-given abilities. Some have the talent of giving encouragement, others use their personal time at own expense to help other people.There are much more different talents, e.g.to speak, to serve, to give, to teach, skills etc....However, there are many who simply bury their talents.

You said it right @frieda. Anything that is non-functional will eventually lose its function completely. And like the talent or talents, God blesses more who use his or her talent for His glory. This is our ultimate purpose here on earth, to Glorify Him in all things that we do, especially through our talent.
The wonderful thing is that we must use our talents to help people, not ourselves!
Exactly. It's a pay-it-forward scheme I guess.
