“For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country,
who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.
And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one,
to each according to his own ability;
and immediately he went on a journey.”
Matthew 25:14-15

God has invested in you. He has invested in each one of us, giving gifts and abilities to each, some more, some less.

“But one and the same Spirit works all these things,
distributing to each one individually as he wills.”
1st Corinthians 12:11

And he expects us to use them, to invest them in HIS work. Many ignore them. For whatever reason they bury them and set their minds and hearts on other things.

“And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground.
Look, there you have what is yours.”
Matthew 25:25

What could be more important in life than discovering what one’s gifts and talents are, and then using them for the Kingdom of God? We’re on this earth for such a relatively short time, and then we go into eternity. What could be sadder for a believer than to arrive in heaven only to find that he had squandered his talents and left unfulfilled the use he might have made of them? How sad when he discovers “what could have been!”

Invest TIME kneeling before God and seeking to know what his plan is for your life according to what he has invested in you. This is perhaps one of the most important things you will do in life, because the use or neglect of your talents will have a great effect on others, one way or another, and will affect your rewards or lack thereof, in heaven.
