THE TALENTS
The question isn't how much you have, it's what you're doing with what you have! In this parable the servants aren't responsible for how many talents they're initially given; they're responsible for what they do with those talents.
What talents, gifts, passions, open doors, etc., has God given you? What are you doing with them? Are you waiting for more doors to be opened, more money, more people, more need before doing anything with it? Are you frozen in fear of what might happen if you screw up and everything doesn't turn out perfectly?
God is a good father; he isn't mad when His children step out in faith to use the gifts and talents He's given them for Kingdom purposes. His correction comes when we wait, either because of fear or desire for more, and end up doing nothing! Don't let the talents God's given you go to waste today--step up and use them for the Kingdom of God!
