#1 Gift, Giving (75%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel that I need to give because I know that not everyone is as fortunate as me and that I can do something about that.

#2 Gift, Mercy Showing (65%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I think mercy should be shown in all that we do because nobody deserves the good things that God has to offer more than anybody else does, yet we are all shown mercy everyday.

#3 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (59%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I think that encouragement is important in our day to day lives and can benefit a lot of people. Often times there aren’t enough people that try encourage others, and people sometimes try to bring others down instead.

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

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian
