#1 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (87%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I try to see what is beautiful in others and desire to help them recognize and see this in themselves. I long to see others as jesus see’s them

#2 Gift, Mercy Showing (78%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel deeply connected to the pain of others. At times, I feel it myself. I feel that my own sensitivity helps me to have compassion and mercy for others. I see the pain of others as the reason for unhelpful choices that they make

#3 Gift, Teaching (68%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel shepherding/Pastoring may be more appropriate. However, I feel that God has given me a deep desire to understand scripture not simply literally, but the deeper meanings, context and person who wrote it. I desire to know God more deeply and feel that others are transformed the more them come to know Christ. I also see that God has given me opportunities to learn in different capacities about biblical interpretation and context. It grieves my heart when I hear others interpreting scripture in ways that shames them, or makes God into something he is not.
