Hebrews 13:20-21
New International Version (NIV)
Benediction and Final Greetings
20 Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, 21 equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Equip... I love that word. Short, simple, and important. God has equipped me very well to do His work. He has given me wisdom to discern right from wrong, a hard heart when evil confronts my emotions, a soft heart when compassion for my brothers and sisters is needed, broad, strong shoulders when I need to carry a burden for another, a soft shoulder so you can lean on me and cry, hands like iron that are skilled to work all day all and night, a strong backbone to confront evil and not back down, a sharp tounge to lash wrong with the Word, a soft tounge for encouragement and praise, fast legs to flee from immorality, He has equipped me with love which might me the most most important thing to be equipped with, love. I love you, and God has equipped you too. (see above list)
