Discovering your role

A useful acronym - S.H.A.P.E. - can help us in working out 'where we fit' and how we can best help others and glorify God. The letters stand for:

Spiritual gifts (see for example Romans 12, Ephesians 4, 1 Corinthians 12, 1 Peter 4)
Heart - what are the desires of your heart?
Abilities - what are you already naturally gifted at?
Personality - what temperament are you?
Experiences - how has your life history fashioned you?
