We All Have
“Talent on Loan from God”

“God has given each of you some special abilities;
be sure to use them to help each other,
passing on to others God’s many kinds of blessings.”

Colossians 1:21

There is a national radio host that boasts daily that he has “Talent on Loan from God”. The first time I heard that I thought, “Isn’t That Arrogant!” But then after thinking about it for a while, I realized that he is right – but not just for him, but for everyone!

Most people underestimate themselves because all of us have been given various talents; the question is what are yours and are you using them? One of our purposes in life is and should be to find that talent and use it for the benefit of ourselves and others.

I have a good friend who is a well esteemed doctor who has used his abilities, crafted over years of hard work and study to save the life and health of others, but he lacks any musical aptitude or appreciation for music. For me, I have zero understanding or desire for the practice or application of medicine but likewise after years of practice have become a talented and skilled musician. Both my friend and I can serve the world in different and important ways – as all of us can. The point is that we all have “Talent on Loan from God” - the key is how will we use that to share and help others.

Today’s verse addresses this precisely. We all have earthly-human gifts and for those in Christ also have spiritual gifts as well. These can be one or more of a variety of things from hospitality, discernment, service, teaching, exhortation – and even healing, prophecy and miracles.

Jesus said “Let your light shine so that people may see you good works and glorify your father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16) Let it shine!! Use your talents that are truly “Talent on Loan from God”.

God Bless Your Day
Jesus Loves You
