#1 Gift, Mercy Showing (75%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
We should show mercy as we were showed mercy. God has been good to me and I should do my best to show mercy and kindness to others so that they will see His love. I believe compassion is a gift of God gave me.

#2 Gift, Evangelism (71%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
We are commanded to spread the message of salvation. We should have a heart to see the lost as God sees them and share His message. I see each soul as either saved or lost.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
God chose who He blesses with what. All belongs to Him. Without God’s mercy I could be anyone who needs help- by giving time, talents or gifts.

Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. 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.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace
