Privileged to be entrusted with God’s manifold* grace
life builders in divine kingdom enterprise
stewards assured of eternal investment
constantly strive --- despite confessed weariness
--- maximizing discipleship opportunities
while yielded to the Almighty.
Life builders, prayer warriors ---
indeed fulfill ordained sentry role
steadfastly serving, yet guarding themselves
against pernicious selfishness
lurking to dampen spirit of volunteerism
in the guise of sincere visage.
Seeking pardon for iniquity's blemish ---
life builders, Gospel ministers, spread love, exuding peace
blest to traverse with faith for heavenly pursuits
unmindful of worldly astral exaltation
keep on blissfully reaching-out with compassion
by the mercy and might of Christ.
*1Peter 4:10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
