Spiritual Gifts: Giving

The gift of giving is the deep commitment to provide whatever resources are needed to support God’s will and plan. In addition to radical generosity, those who possess the gift of giving have the uncanny ability to discover and channel new sources of money, time, and energy to needs. Money management skills, grant writing abilities, and the easy knack of asking for donations and cultivating donors are among common skills of gifted givers.

Reflection questions:

● In what ways do you use your gift at home, at work, in relationships with friends?

● What other gifts best complement giving, and enable you to increase the value and impact of your gift?

● In what ways can you improve your use and knowledge of your gift?

● Where do other people see evidence of this gift in your life?
