If you had them [talents] all, you’d have no need of anyone else, and that would defeat one of God’s purposes - to teach us to love and depend on each other. Your spiritual gifts were not given for your own benefit but for the benefit of others, just as other people were given gifts for your benefit… God planned it this way so we would need each other. When we use our gifts together, we all benefit. If others don’t use their gifts, you get cheated, and if you don’t use your fits, they get cheated...God never wastes anything. He would not give you abilities, interests, talents, gifts, personality, and life experiences unless He intended to use them FOR HIS GLORY.
