This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I first want to say that I love God with all of my heart, soul, and mind. Thus, I love to tell people about God’s goodness, grace, and mercy. Ultimately, I can talk about God’s grace all day to people.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love to serve and help people. I grew up really poor and I know what it’s like to be hopeless and feel ignored. So I try to do my best to make sure people feel loved and valued because Christ loves and values me. Understanding the love of Christ and how he died for an undeserving sinner like me gives me the motivation to love and serve others while giving Jesus Christ all the honor, glory, and praise.
