"What are my spiritual gifts?"
The Bible gives us a list of gifts the Holy Spirit gives to those who are in the body of Christ: administration, discernment, evangelism, exhortation, faith, giving, healing, helps, hospitality, knowledge, leadership, mercy, prophecy, serving, speaking in tongues, interpreting tongues, teaching or shepherding, knowledge and wisdom. This list is a sampling and is not meant to be exhaustive. The Holy Spirit is not limited to just this list when distributing his gifts.
"But what are my spiritual gifts?"
Maybe you've asked yourself or others this question as you earnestly try to find out what your gifts are so you can go forth and use them.
Each of these gifts glorifies God when we use them to bless others, show others our heavenly Father's heart & character, and draw them closer to Jesus. And we are each granted different gifts. In other words, we have one glorious, loving master but we are each different douloi. That's the Greek behind "servant" or "slave" in the New Testament. We are each called to serve him in different ways, but to the same end of blessing others to God's ultimate glory.
