The key to using these gifts from the Holy Spirit is to follow His lead, of course. Unlike talents that use our minds and bodies to be carried out, these spiritual gifts are only used with the help of the Holy Spirit. They are not the gifts of humans, they are gifts from God, so only God knows how we are supposed to be using them to serve others, building up the Church and leading to a more fulfilling life for ourselves as well. This means we not only have to know what our gifts are, but that we must continue to grow in Christ to sense the guidance of the Holy Spirit, so that we can, and will, use them the way He is leading us to use them. These gifts utilize all of who we are: spirit, soul and body. This is why they bring us such fulfillment.
And by the way, if you do not know what your gifts are, there are plenty of different “Spiritual Gifts Assessment” tools on the good old internet, so make sure you take one of those tests, familiarize yourself with the different categories and ways they are used, then lean of the Holy Spirit so you can use them His Way. A link is below to one I usually take…and you want to take them periodically too, because our gifts just might change depending on where we are in life.
