This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
As i have excepted Jesus christ as my savior I have found myself speaking to those i know about him that are lost, mostley in my own personal family and work family, sometime I’m told i may go over board. I often use my own story to those that may need to hear, you can walk out of the fire through Christ. I like to tell his story and all he has done and continues to do for us.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I find myself using Encouragement alot through my daily life, Working in a nursing home raged with covid it can be overwhelming for workers to become negative. I often Encourage the staff through words of prayer, and faith. Again I have always found myself being the Encourager in My own family Dynamics. With the hardships we have Endured. I strongley believe we all have to be encouraged from time to time, I find myself Encouraging Even when i feel Im the one That needs it. But my encouragement comes through the strength and faith of my father.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Mercy is an easy one for me. I’m a nurse, It can be used also as forgiveness. As Our Jesus showed Mercy to so many that turned their backs on him. We as Christians must also show Mercy to those requiring the need. If Mercy is not shown to that person that desires Jesus then they remain in the dark. I have shown Mercy to my Childhood abuser, My ex-husband who abused me, my addict son, and my addict daughter. Even my marriage. And for that, my jesus has shown me Greater Peace, and most importantly he has shown me Mercy.

Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, 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

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline
