What talents has the Lord entrusted you with, and how can you put these talents to good use?
The Lord God doesn`t give us things or capabilities that are beyond our potential.However, whatever we think we excel out with should be used properly in God`s kingdom. They should sprout out and bring out other good fruits for they glorify the lord.God does not expect us to be good singers if we don`t know how to sing. so, we should determine the talents that God has given and use them with appropracy with God`s words.

He gave the talent of interpretation, I am an actor, and I never wanted to be anything else in life as God is my witness. I prayed for this particular talent to Him because I didn`t think I had any talent at all in life and if I did, I didn`t really knew or even care. But He lisened to me and gave it to me but my promise was to use it for Him to help Him by giving to others in my performances, joy, hope or just plain and simple entrateintment. And for a moment I did and then ..I went on with it and made a name for myself and this talent was taken away from me after I did a movie, a Chiristian movie. He gave an award and all as best actor. And ever since that moment my carrer entered on to a 3 year pause. I`m still in this pause . He has introduced Him self to me after this movie wich I did`t wanted to do really '' because I thought I was to good for it'' and now I know I wasen`t good enough to recive that talent in the fist place. He took it away and left me His peace in stead. Now he has given me a new talent and I will use it He is my witness. This time I wont make the same mistakes for now I know HIm in a way I didn`t before. Thank you my LORD.!!!! aleluya!!!!

I don`t specifically have a talent, but I do tend to cheer people up, when they are feeling down - as well as bringing a fighting family back together.

The Parable of the Talents

"For it is like a man, going into another country, who called his own servants, and entrusted his goods to them. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey. Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. In like manner he also who got the two gained another two. But he who received the one went away and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
"Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reconciled accounts with them. He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents. Behold, I have gained another five talents besides them.'
"His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
"He also who got the two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another two talents besides them.'
"His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
"He also who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter. I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.'
"But his lord answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I didn't sow, and gather where I didn't scatter. You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest. Take away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents. For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away. Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
