We were all born with a talent or a gift to do something special in this world. God created us all with a purpose to fulfill. its up to us to find out what it is and then by faith pursue it.
Matt 25:14-29
(if u don't know)This Parable talks about how a man gives his servants talents to go and multiply to bring back to him. He gives each servant(3)a different number of talents. If you read the parable you can get the FULL story on how everything went down.
The parable helped me too see my talent differently. I love to sing its been a dream of mine since i was a small child and its something that I feel in the depths my heart. But I always felt like what i had to give wasn't good enough, and I'm sure we all feel that way about a lot of things in our lives. I want to say i felt like the servant who received the 1 talent. All around me were talented people who i felt were better than me and i ignored the fact that I was God made and my talent was just as good as theirs was...WHY?? Because it came from a perfect God. Anything that is good comes from God and I didn't know that back then. If you read the parable the servant with the 1 talent dug a hole and buried his talent in the ground and hid it. When we decide to "dig a hole" and hide our talent we don't get better and grow. All God wants is the best for us, he wants to expand our territory and give us MORE by trusting him.
When we proceed to hide behind our invisible walls of fear nothing gets done. Were not living to our fullest potential. Understand that the gift and talents that are inside of you are worthy. Don't allow people, haters, fears or anything else stop you from living out your purpose. Don't be like that servant who decided to hide his talent instead of multiply. When you make that decision to step out in faith and use your talents...God sees that and says "If they can take what I've given them and do all of this then they can handle the many other things that i have in store" he wants that for your life. God is SO good that he doesn't want to see you in the same place forever, he delights in giving you more and moving you towards and towards your God given purpose. strengthen your talents whatever they are and start living your life the way God intended it to be. He'll never leave you or forsake you, he'll never give you more than you can handle he knows exactly who you are and what you can do. God has faith in you...so have faith in him. Trust him with your dreams...he will give you more than you've ever imagined.
stay blessed,
