No formulas that can tell us exactly what our spiritual gifts are.
The Holy Spirit distributes the gifts as He determines.
For that reason, We can NOT focus on serving God in our Spiritual Gift area ONLY
God calls us to obediently serve Him in all things.
He will equip us with the gifts we need to accomplish the task He has called us to.
