DISCOVERING YOUR SPIRITUAL GIFTSEvery person is gifted by God. Spiritual gifts are innate –
inborn orientations that transcend skills or abilities. When we
understand our spiritual gifts, we understand that certain
aspects of our lives are natural, normal, and easy. No one has
to work hard to use his or her gifts, though each and every gift
can be developed and strengthened.
For most of us, a handful of gifts will be evident at any
point in our lives. In different situations, at various phases
of our lives, new gifts may emerge as others recede. Spiritual
gifts are from God, and God’s spirit blows where it wills – what
is strong in us today, may become secondary tomorrow. What
remains constant is that we are gifted by God to use our gifts
for the common good.
