Two things make a Christian miserable, 1) unrepentant sin and 2) not using your gifts to serve the Church. My church provides a questionnaire that helps you know your gifts. Spiritual gifts are giving by the Holy Spirit to help build the church, these gifts are from God's grace and not earned. Get the inventory here, http://www.grace.church/events/next-steps-eden-prairie

Missing from the list is tongues, which is strange because unknown languages need the word of God and some can learn this word and translate the Bible for them. The church needs these people.
Also healing is missing but this could be compassion, exhortation and helps.
Apostleship = missionary.
