Pleasing Others

Anyone who is strong,
Have an obligation;
Bear where the weak go wrong,
For their situation.

Not for our pleasure,
Rather as to compel;
For pleasing your neighbor,
For problems to dispel.

To please our neighbors,
Build up to inspire;
A burden that labors,
Help them to aspire.

Christ did not please His own,
Reproaches fell on Him;
He wanted to atone,
The ones who felt so grim.

As written in past days,
For our instruction;
Enduring who obeys,
Avoiding obstruction.

Through patience and comfort,
The Scriptures give us hope;
Striving for an effort,
Being able to cope.

The God of endurance,
Encouragement grants you;
Harmonious patience,
For what you will pursue.

Live in such harmony,
With one towards another;
Stopping the agony,
Consoling your brother.

An example of Christ,
Likeminded toward others;
You being sacrificed,
For welfare of brothers.

Together with one voice,
You glorify the Lord;
Being as to rejoice,
He is loved and adored.

Glorify the Father,
Of the Lord Jesus Christ;
Giving us a Brother,
That we became enticed.
