What's your gift?

Last weekend I went through the Spiritual Gift class that Adam is conducting and I found it very enlightening. It highlighted some interesting aspects of my personality. I especially liked that the workbook asked us to become 'supernatural' instead of 'natural' and not 'normal' but spiritual.

How often are we afraid to show others our 'real' self for fear of rejection or disapproval? Once we have a better understanding of our own motiviations, it becomes easier to see what motivates others and understand where they are 'coming from'. With everyone striving to joyously serve God, without being wrapped up in who does what or who gets the credit for what job, we can become a better church, more in the image of Christ himself.

One of the over-arching premises of the personality study is there is no right or wrong behavior pattern. D, I, C, and S's are all loved and valued by our Father. Embrace who you are. God created you to be Uniquely You.
