My Bible Story
Jesus told the Parable of the Talents. A master gave three servants different amounts of money. Two servants used what they were given and gained more. The third servant buried his talent out of fear and was punished. God wants us to use our gifts boldly — not hide them!
What This Teaches Us
- God gives everyone gifts and abilities.
- Fear should not stop us from serving.
- Using our gifts brings reward.
- Hiding our gifts displeases God.
