You all heard of the parable of the five talents. A lot of people use this parable to teach us about investing money, or our gifts that we have. I tend to look at this parable differently.
Here's a link for those who may want to glance the scripture: http://www.biblestudytools.com/matthew/passage.aspx?q=matthew+25:11-21.
When God gave these men talents, all except for one took their talents and came back with more. The one, took his talent and buried it in the ground. God was glad to see the four men who invested in their talents and came back with more. The one who buried his talent came back with just that one he was given, and in his case God casted him away. I look at this parable differently than its used to adapt to money, or our gifts, or anything that pertains to self. This parable is an amazing example of how to use what was given to us to empower others. We have been given so much, and I call the Bible the Book Of Life, just because it teaches everything you need to know and more. It teaches us about LIFE. How we should live, how we should be, how we should treat others, how we learn about who we are, and our worth, and the list goes on. I receive this parable as... What God gives us, use it to bring more back to him. So now your bringing more back to him. This parable is a deep parable that has been used in many different ways. You have to literally invest what you know, and share it, so that you impact those around you where ever you go. Remember the one who was given a talent, took his talent and buried it? He kept the talent all too himself, which caused him to be cast away. It's an honor and privelegde to run into someone who's passionate about helping others become better, because their going to help you as well. Realizing that we help eachother. You don't get that a lot. I love running into those who want to see me become better, who want to see me be successful. I love running into those who love life and sees life for what it is. There is a gain for us all, because there's more than enough. What will be your gain?
