Even though we might think of our skills, interests, and strengths as natural abilities, it is God who has given these to us.   When we invite Christ to be the guide of our life, the Lord helps us see how what we once called natural abilities are really spiritual gifts. In addition to our natural abilities,  the Lord also gives new abilities through the inner working of the Holy Spirit. These are the building blocks God uses to accomplish things in the world today.

In the spiritual gift inventory there are twenty-three areas. Use the list to discover the strength of the spiritual gifts God has given you. The descriptions of the spiritual gifts also includes scripture references for further study and prayer; as well as a list of servant-leader functions for the body of Christ to be healthy, and to function effectively. As you ponder using your gifts for God's glory you may come up with other functions. Spiritual gifts can be used in many ways.

Share what you think are your spiritual gifts with a trusted Christian friend, Pastor, Spiritual Director, support group or class.  Discernment will come as you listen to the insights of others who can confirm what this list only suggests.

Spiritual gifts can change over time and according to the needs of the church or those you are serving. You may want to make a self assessment again in six months or a year.

Rejoice in the gifts God has given you.  Humbly work out how to use these gifts to God's glory. Always serve as one under authority, who is willing to be accountable to others and to the Lord.
