Use the Gifts God Has Given You
Jesus told the Parable of the Talents — a story He taught to help us know the importance of using the gifts and talents He’s given us. When the servants used their talents wisely, the Master said, “Well done, good and faithful servants …enter into the joy of the Lord!” And to the one who…
