#1 Gift, Teaching (87%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love the Word of God and it is a great treasure in my life. Reading God’s Word, and meditating on Scripture has enabled me to grow in Christ and to really understand who God is, what He has for me, and how much He loves me.

#2 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (78%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I believe that everyone matters and everyone should have a cheer leader because you never know what someone is going through. The Bible says that a kind word can cheer up an anxious heart (Proverbs 12:25). I want to be that person that speaks life, purpose, and faith into someone’s life, to encourage them to hold on to Jesus no matter what, and to be the voice that reminds them to keep walking in faith because God is faithful and He has a great plan for their life.

#3 Gift, Mercy Showing (78%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:

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
