Using Your Talent(s)

Everyone has at least one talent, something they're good at. Some people have multiple talents so for them, they have to devote equal time to each talent so it won't go to waste. What burns me up is people that have talents and DON'T USE THEM. How can anyone sit on their talent and not use it? That's silly to me. When God gives you gifts, you're supposed to use them for his glory. For example, my gift is writing so that's why I set up this blog website so I can give my stance on various issues. Ever since I built my blog website, it's 5300+ page views and counting and I've had it a year! The vision I have for my blog website is to market it for $$$ once I get my page views up to 10,000 or more. So far I'm well on my way to the 10,000 mark. If you don't use your talent, it will go to waste or it will be passed on to your child(ren) for them to utilize to the fullest. I understand that some people may not want to market their talent for $$$ and that's ok; some people use their talent as a hobby. Maybe some people don't use their talent because they're scared of rejection, others don't use their talent because they don't know how to effectively market their gift for profit, who knows. All I know is if I had multiple talents and didn't use them, I'm doing myself a disservice because I didn't tap into what God has blessed me with. I tell God periodically: When I stand before Him, I hope I don't have a single talent left because I used every ability for your glory. The people who don't use their talent(s) usually become envious of those who are using their talent(s) and profiting off their skill. Well, if they had the same confidence in their skills, they would be successful with their talent(s). Proverbs 18:16, NKJV- A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.
