On Investing Our Talent Wisely



Most people think, "How can we serve God and others if we don't have a talent?"

Every person was born with a special and unique talent that God has given to them. The problem lies on your perception. We need to discover them and invest it for the greater service that will bring honor and glory to God. Others may equate talent to something that is attractive to the public but the truth is, this kind of notion is wrong. Remember that even when people see your talent as something that is not worthy to be praised for, you can be happier than them if you invested and used it properly. I will never forget my favorite analogy of the talent to the appendix. The appendix is an accessory organ of the digestive system. Medical experts say this has no important function at all. But once the organ has been inflamed and without prompt treatment, it can affect the intestine, the peritoneum (transparent covering of the digestive system), the heart and worse, your whole body which leads you to death. How then do we invest our appendix to remain healthy? Simple, By proper nutrition and exercise. So, if you think your talent is like an appendix, you'll never know how much will it affect you and God who entrusted you such gift for a greater purpose. INVEST YOUR TALENT WISELY
