Understanding Who God Made You

Just writing a quick post to share some links for some tests that have really helped my family, Alex, and I in understanding how God made us unique and different, and how we can use those giftings and personalities as our part of being part of the body of Christ---molding to Him in His image.

It has also really helped different ones of us to understand how God made other people individually, uniquely special too.

Take caution with these tests though, that you don't use them as 'outs' or 'complacency cards' to say "Well this is the way God made me! So, you just have to live with it!!"

No, because sin entered the world, we are born with sin, and so we much continually strive through Christ, to become like Him, and conquer the flesh. With each strength comes a weakness--thus, we must submit who we are to God and allow Him to mold us more to His image daily.

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
~ Romans 12:2 ~

~ II Corinthians 5:17 & John 15:5 ~
