#1 Gift, Serving (75%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I really love to serve others, especially in background/assistant roles. When I can brighten someone’s day and direct them back to Jesus and His love for them I have such a sense of fulfillment. I have grown the most and seen God work the most when I am serving others. I am consistent and love people; God has definitely called me to serve in areas I have not expected.

#2 Gift, Mercy Showing (68%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
In areas I serve including my profession, I really desire to know people and truly feel for them in times of need/distress. I have to be careful not to be completely overwhelmed by taking on others’ burdens.

#3 Gift, Giving (62%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
This one surprised me at first but then I think it’s not just financial giving but giving of myself. I have learned so much about financial giving and really love to share how God has blessed me in this area; I also have recently been working on looking for ways to give to others (preferably anonymously) when they are in need or not expecting it. It is so fun! I also really enjoy giving of myself and the time and energy resources that I have. Again, it comes back to the idea of loving people and wanting to serve them well for God’s kingdom.

Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people

Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
