God gives us all Spiritual Gifts, and when you are led by the Holy Spirit to use your Spiritual Gifts to provide solutions to other people's challenges, you and the person for whom you are providing the solution are rewarded (especially spiritually).I give this testimony hoping that I can be a positive influence in another person's life and plant a seed that will bring them closer in their personal relationship with God, because in the end, that's all that matters.God Bless You!
