God wants to use us to build His kingdom.

We are to help others build the kingdom of God as well. Kingdom builders are not concerned with who gets to do what; just that it is getting done.

Anything we get to do for the Lord, no matter how small or large, speaks of His grace toward us.

We should always be learning from God and His Word.
