This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I tend to be persistent about making the end objective happen. I organize and delegate and increasingly delegate authority for enablement of processes to be completed. People tend to look to me for administrative management, requesting my opinion. Some of this looking tome is a natural response to authority that has been given me by the elders.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Moved by compassion for others. Care deeply about people. Carry them in my heart. Can exhort bring and correction as required, though it be painful in the moment it works the peaceable fruit of righteousness

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Utilize scriptures that address the heart. I’m told I’m a good listener and give objective feedback and direction as needed. I look for evidences of fruit of the Holy Spirit and call those out by name encouraging them to continue their imaging of Him

Variety

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

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

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

[E]xperience

Grew up in a faith based family. Lot of affirmation for “behaving” right. Reinforced my own goodness. I tended to be legalistic and would judge others quickly though it may not be “out loud”. I came to the end of my goodness recognizing I was shot through with faults that I did not have the power within myself to change. Oh wretched man that I was. I loved Jesus, loved to hear stories about him. I was drawn to Him. Wanted to be like Him…and I knew I wan’t. I believe Jesus came after me not because of anything I had done but because He set His love on me (and others) just because. that drew me to Him all the more.

Slower than others in learning. Stimulates patience

Wrapping It Up

The Challenge: Based upon your S.H.A.P.E. Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

• Putting Your Spouse First
• Your Kids Second
• Everyone Else After those

3. Lead men into understanding that their current job is a puirposeful place that God has ut them and to see righteouness being extended from the role they are currently in.

4. Equip others to serve. Inspire others to utilize their gifts/skills/experience to see the Kingdom increase. Help others identify their callings and come aling side of them to see those callings matured and flouishing in heir callings

5. Have more impact in the marketplace. Relational influence and subsequent shalom in the city
