This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Everything I have came from the Lord. He has blessed me and provided for me. It is not God’s intent that I keep it for myself when he shows me needs somewhere else. I pay close attention to where God wants me to give to someone else. It is not always money. Sometimes it is my time, my voice, or areas of my life he wants me to give to others.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Throughout my life, I have seen God put me in situations or circumstances where I need to encourage others and to bring them to praying and find God’s leading in their life. He has used me to pull out, through encouragement, the strengths of individuals so they use their talents for the betterment of their situation. A lot of times this was used in employment as a supervisor. It was still used as a gift from God as he placed me in that position.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
One of the things I enjoy most is speaking to a large group of people on a topic I am passionate about. It can be as a training session or a speaking engagement. Showing Christ through those opportunities is such a blessing.

[H]eart

1. Spend time with an individual friend encouraging them in following Christ’s direction for their lives. I enjoy the opportunity God provides when friends seek me out for advice and they know I am looking to God for the answers.

2. God has provided many opportunities when he has led me to pray with a stranger who was hurting. Those opportunities have been gifts for me.

3. Public speaking opportunities. I am not currently doing any of these, but in the past public speaking on topics I am passionate about, especially when speaking of God’s love, fills me with excitement and knowledge of God’s leading and directing. He has given me these opportunities in the past.

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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

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