First, it teachers us how and where to use our talents. The question is, is it for our own good alone? It is for our own advantage only? Or we use them for a greater good or purpose to fulfil what the Lord has intended for these gifts. Second, it also invites us to think and to reflect how do I see God, how do I feel about God.
