EQUIPPED TO "BUILD UP OTHERS" - by Hector Perez

Build up others with a caring heart,
Strengthen their faith so they never depart.
With love, compassion, and a warm embrace,
You'll point broken hearts to trust in the LORD's sufficient grace.

Build up others with sacrificial hands,
So their hopes are realized, and faith expands.
Lay stones of love that create a solid ground,
For people who praise Yeshua with songs that resound.

Build up others with empathy, a gift so rare,
Restore their shattered souls through compassionate care.

For every act of kindness, no matter how small,
It will change their life and lift them from their fall.

Build up others with love, God's strongest potion, 
His preeminent virtue that awakens every dying emotion.

With His love, you'll build lives that climb new heights,
Which helps them see God's wonders and Heavenly Light. 

So abide in the Master, and build with care,
Today is an opportunity to spread the Good News everywhere.

For you possess the Spirit's enduring power,

That sustains and strengthens you each and every hour!

"Now, these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do His work and build up the church, the body of Christ." Ephesians 4:11-12 NLT
