Talents on Loan

1 Corinthians 15:58

Stand firm and you let nothing to persuade,
Let the Lord's work of you be unswayed;
Knowing that your labor is not in vain,
The Heavenly reward you have to gain;
Talents that you have are a God's gift,
That will be giving you an emotional lift;
Make sure that you take special care,
Using your talent remember to share;
It may be a gift, but not just our own,
It belongs to God and merely on loan;
Sometime you might make a mistake,
Using your talent that you partake;
Think about how it may been used,
God might think that it was abused;
Knowing the proper use of your tool,
Keeps you from looking like a fool;
You will find to be forever blessed,
No matter where with your quest;
So be careful with what you bear,
Remember to thank God in prayer.
