Matthew Chapter 25 (Parable of the Talents)
God has deposited in us all we need to succeed (potentials) 2Peter 1 v 3. He then expects us to work on ourselves, train ourselves and refine these potentials he has given to us.
Importantly, he wants us to make use of what he has deposited in us (Gen 2 v 15). He wants us to use those talents, work with them and succeed (multiply) because he has given us the capacity to grow and enlarge.
As children of God, we have no excuse not to make it in life. He has given us all that pertain to life and godliness. It is our responsibility to activate the potentials in us (2Tim 1v 6), make use of it and succeed. God did not give you that talent/potential to keep. He gave you to make use of it. Go ahead and USE IT.
