Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God. ~ Talents Quotes ~

God gives each of us talents. What we do with them is up to us.

The older I get, the more I observe this in both the physical and spiritual realms. I've learned that what I use is developed. However, when I don't use it, I lose the ability to do so.

Our Bible verses, Matthew 25: 14-30 are very interesting. These verses talk about the talents God gives us. It essentially says use them or lose them.
