I've read it before,
about how God gave everyone a specific "talent of gold,"
but the commentary for the passage emphasized how,
just like the parable,
our talents of gold are always, and always will be, of God's,
and we are merely "entrusted" with them, not just given to us.
so simple and obvious an observation--
I don't know how I didn't pick it up before.
it makes more sense why I should use any abilities that I have for Him.
