Reflection On Spiritual Gifts
From the spiritual gift inventory, I discovered my spiritual gifts being faith,
patience, creativity and encouragement.
These spiritual gifts are to be understood as God’s gift of grace not evidence of
man’s achievement.
When the holy spirit moves through you, the gift comes though your nature

others.
However, the use of spiritual gifts in ministry also requires humility and serves
heart, it is not about seeking recognition or personal gain but rather glorifying God
and serving his people. It is important to remain grounded in the love of Christ and
prioritize others above our needs.
