Spiritual Gifts

Where do we see ourselves being useful in the church (body of Christ)? What spiritual gift(s) did the Holy Spirit give you for the building up of the body of Christ? We all fit in somewhere. If I do not use the spiritual gift(s) that God gave me, I feel "spiritually depressed". I want to serve in the area that He chose for me. If I am not using my talents for Him, I become so low that I feel drained spiritually. I listed the gifts below and the references for easy study. What is your gift?
