#1 Gift, Giving (93%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I know what it is like to not have. I know that giving is a good feeling, sometimes even better than receiving. Finally, God gave everyone His only begotten Son…, and although I could never match that level of giving, I hold it as a highly valuable model in which to follow.

#2 Gift, Evangelism (90%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Had to look this one up. I Love God and I would not mind at all spreading the gospel for all to hear and witness to. There are shortcomings that I would definitely want to clear up on my end before I could commit to such a holy career

Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

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
