What a blessing when the holy spirit uses our mouth, tongue and spirit to utter concurrence holy spirit.

It only then that brings glory to God in heaven and honor to his name earth.

However, gifts are earned but given by omniscient God and we receive them humbly and use them even with humility. Remember what Jesus said to not long after this affirmation.
