#1 Gift, Giving (71%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
God gave… I enjoyed giving since I was a child even before I could understand why. It’s God’s expression of Love. People know that you care (God cares) when you give your time, money, attention. You are being selfless and we are called to die to self.

#2 Gift, Mercy Showing (71%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
That’s what Christ demonstrated when He walked on this Earth and He called us to follow Him. Jesus touches people, shows them that they are precious to him when we (The body of Christ) show mercy.

#3 Gift, Teaching (68%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
People I get to minister to a lot of times are hurting because of lack of understanding of God’s word and/or intimacy with him. I like to share my own experiences to bring Glory to Him and know that a lot of times the listeners are able to apply what The Lord might be telling them. I fully trust The Holy Spirit leads all of those types of conversations/prayers. His Truth sets us free!!!!
