#1 Gift, Mercy Showing (81%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I personally hate the feeling of being in trouble or not knowing what to do and getting in trouble because of it. I feel that the person I show mercy on has not had very many people who would give mercy to them.

#2 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (71%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I enjoy encouraging others to be a better person. It has taken me so long to get to the point of where I am now in loving my life. Currently, the only thing I can think to do with that is to try and share that feeling of happiness. For example, one place i’ve always wanted to work is Disney World. Not because of the perks (and definitely not because of the pay) but rather for the love and happiness that is constantly spread around the parks. Are there times where an angry parent yell at you? of course! but that is life! learn to not allow things like that to bother you!

#3 Gift, Serving (68%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
As stated in my Exhortation/Encouragement answer I love to spread happiness so being able to spread the love of my God is beautiful.

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
