Summary: God, out of His love, has distributed to every one of us gifts that we don't deserve. When we forget that, we're on the way to burying them. God has given us these gifts according to His unique knowledge of each individual's ability or need. His scale of value doesn't follow the scale of human accomplishment. If God loves infinitely, there can be no degree of measurement or value. The distribution of these gifts to each individual has the potential to look unfair or unequal if we start comparing ourselves with others. God has inscrutable and eternal purposes for what appears to be unequal distribution of gifts. When we are ungrateful for any of the gifts we receive, compare ourselves with others, or refuse to use what we've been given, we're questioning the wisdom of God. Using whatever we've been given to bless other people is a delight to the Master.
