Sunday Journal: Using Your God-Given Gifts


Today’s lesson was deeply inspiring as we delved into Matthew 25:14-30, aka the Parable of the Talents. This parable tells the story of a master who entrusted his servants with different amounts of silver before leaving on a journey. One servant received five talents, another received two, and the last received one talent. Upon the master’s return, the first two servants had invested and doubled their silver, while the third servant, out of fear, buried his talent and returned it without any gain.


This passage struck a chord with me, reminding me of the incredible gifts and talents we are all blessed with. It’s a powerful metaphor for the abilities and opportunities God gives us, urging us not to hide or squander them but to use them boldly and wisely.


Reflecting on my own journey, I remember a time when I was hesitant to pursue my passion for event planning and blogging. I was filled with self-doubt and worried about failing. But just like the servant who buried his talent, I realized that hiding my gifts out of fear was a disservice not only to myself but to the world. Once I embraced my talents and started Aloha Alicia & Co., I found fulfillment and success beyond my expectations.


This parable teaches us several key lessons:


1. Embrace Your Talents: God has given each of us unique abilities. It’s our responsibility to recognize and nurture them.


2. Take Risks: Just as the servants who invested their talents, we must be willing to take risks and step out in faith, trusting that God will guide our efforts.


3. Avoid Complacency: The servant who buried his talent missed out on growth and contribution. We should strive to avoid complacency and actively seek ways to use our gifts for good.


4. Accountability: We will eventually give an account of how we used our gifts. Let’s aim to show that we’ve made a positive impact and multiplied what we were given.


Today’s service reminded me that we all have the potential to make a difference. Whether it’s through our careers, personal projects, or everyday interactions, using our God-given talents can lead to incredible growth and fulfillment. Let’s not be the servant who buried his silver out of fear. Instead, let’s invest in our talents, take bold steps, and trust that God will multiply our efforts for His glory and our good.


Feel free to reflect on this lesson and think about the unique talents God has given you. How can you use them to make a positive impact in your life and the lives of others? Remember, we are all entrusted with something valuable—let’s use it wisely and faithfully.
