The Parable of the Talents

Have you ever thought of your life as an investment? The God of the universe has invested in you, and given you the gifts and talents that are unique. The gift of life is something that can be used for great good and glory to our Creator, or it can be wasted. Jesus told his disciples a profound story about a man who went on a journey and left his wealth with his servants. They had one opportunity to use the master's money in a way that honored the master. We have one opportunity at this thing called life, and life is a gift from God. How we invest this life not only determines our joy and blessing in this life, but also shapes how we will spend eternity.
