The Rest of Your Story 22: What are your strengths?
To start from part one, click here.
Strength: a personal characteristic that can be used on behalf of God in service to others.
To find the core strengths in your story, download the list and find the words that most apply to you.
Then put them through the S.T.R.E.N.G.T.H. Test...
Service - Does it help me serve God and others?
Time - Has it been present throughout much of my life?
Relationships - Do others see this?
Energy - Do I feel energized when I'm living this way?
Natural - Does this come naturally to me most of the time? OR do I know God has intentionally developed this in me even though it doesn't?
Glory - Does God ultimately get the glory from it?
Trials - Even in hard times, does it usually come through somehow?
Heart - Does this really feel like a core part of who I am?
* Does it feel strange to talk about your strengths? Read Part 21.

Thank you for this test. I found it very interesting and very eye-opening and thought-provoking. But, I agree with POUT: Yesterday's post made all the difference.
Some of my strengths are: considerate, creative and determined...
Thank you, again, Holley! and Blessings!
I woke up with you on my mind and heart. I've been praying for us as I'm getting ready for the day, asking God to show us who we are through His eyes.
I know talking about our strengths can be tough. Let's do this together...for Him, for us, for those whose lives well bless by becoming even more of who we are.
Okay, deep breath, some of my strengths are...kindness, creativity, and courage.
Whew. I survived. (:
Looking forward to reading yours!
Here's to being brave, forgiving, and loving of myself. God is good!
Mine are:
1. Encouraging others. HE enables me to love others from the heart(ones in person & bloggy world).
2. Laughter. He shows me humor in many things (including His word) and lots of times it's at MYSELF.
3. Mercy. He's given me the ability to have compassion on those who may have hurt me. I thankful strength that releases me from any bitterness I would otherwise hold. One that would imprison me if it weren't for mercy.
