I feel like a confirmation has taken place today, as I have read about what mercy really is, and what I possess from God to accomplish in this life for Him. I had a friend several years ago tell me I had the gift of mercy. I knew it was partially true, but today I am sure this is one thing God has specifically called me to. Thanks for defining this gift for me so I can continue in His work with much joy and assurance! Hi!

How I praise God for leading you to the site. I firmly believe that until God takes us from this earth, He has a purpose for each of us to accomplish here regardless of age, physical condition, how long we've know Him, or a multitude of other factors. It might not be the way we used to serve. It might not be in the conventional way. It might not be in the way others serve. But, we have a sovereign, powerful, and creative God who can use us in ways we may never think of as we put our trust in Him to work in and through us. We sometimes try to box God in by limiting how spiritual gifts can be used, rather than being open to whatever He has in store for us. We sometimes try to fight against God because we can't do certain things, rather than be content in what He enables us to do. We all need to remember that He is the Potter and we are the clay. In His hands, we will be a vessel shaped to accomplish His purpose for us. He will use you, as you are, to His glory as you look to Him to do what He is very good at ... being GOD!

I am a disabled nurse who has not given much because I have just come to know the Lord and not being able to walk very well I also felt I had nothing to give. Taking a spiritual gifts test and finding that my gift was mercy and then reading the above examples I now know that I can make it to a place where I can show mercy to others without walking very much. Thank you for this. I really felt that I had no gift.
