In a land where the faithful did dwell,
A message of hope they would tell.
With hands raised in prayer,
The Spirit laid bare,
And hearts filled with joy cast a spell.

Potential actions to take in response

Acts 8:14-17 describes the apostles laying hands on new believers to receive a deeper connection or empowerment, symbolizing community support and shared experiences. A practical way to respond to this teaching, even outside a religious context, is to seek opportunities for mentorship or support in your own life or community.

Find someone in your circle who could benefit from your guidance or experience, whether that’s through tutoring, coaching, or simply offering emotional support. Alternatively, look for a mentor for yourself—someone whose skills or experiences you admire and can learn from. This creates a cycle of giving and receiving support, fostering personal growth and connection, much like what is illustrated in the passage. Engaging in such relationships can help build a sense of community and shared learning, making both you and those around you feel more empowered and connected.
