Regifted

Years ago I took the "spiritual gifts inventory." The first time, I was in college. I was half prophecy. Half teaching.
Fast forward.......married with young children..........took the test again. Evenly divided between prophecy, teaching, giving and mercy. Sigh.
And as time goes by, it seems that I become less and less one thing and more and more of each thing. Like I've been "REGIFTED". :)
I know which gift speaks to me most. Strangely, it isn't the one that others tend to see. Why is that?
Who are we? Inside one thing. Outside another? Maybe not. Maybe people only look shallowly. Maybe they see the obvious and miss the more subtle things.
Now, often I get that "you must have the gift of serving." Nope. Nada. It is something I do out of obedience. Out of love. I do it because Jesus did it. But it is not MY nature.
What about you? What gifts do you have? Are you using them? Do they grow through time?
I think that as we grow, we learn more of how to be like Christ and that changes us.
But still, honestly, I sure enjoy some of the gifts more than the others.
