in my tuesday night bible study, we've been studying the spiritual gifts. we had to complete an inventory test to see what gifts we might be endowed with. i think the test results are pretty accurate, and they confirmed things i already assumed in my life. others had already indicated certain areas that i had fit, which was another confirmation.
my question is this: can your spiritual gift- obviously with positive inclinations- have a negative side? i've had this thought before... particularly with my gift, i can start doing the opposite of what it's meant for and use my inclinations in a way they weren't meant for. i don't know how to explain it without out being blunt about what it is, sorry. but, with anything that's a blessing of God, we can get sidetracked from the gift that it is and twist it into something it wasn't meant for. this isn't hard to do, being sin-stricken creatures, prone to our fleshy whims and ways. oh God, save us from ourselves and help us be wholly yours.
