The word for today is - Mentoring !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Mentoring !
 
Do you know that the Bible tells us how to mentor. The Lord commands us to teach the next generation, you are called by God to mentor, read Proverbs 22:6,Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. If someone asks you to mentor them, consider it an honor and a challenge. You may say, okay, I will accept the challenge to mentor or disciple someone else, but what do I do first? I think you should pray about it first, say Lord let this be your will. Read Proverbs 27:17, Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. So, we should be sharpeneth the countenance of our friend; by conversation with him; or her about God's word, sharpen one another's mind. We have to look back over our life and think about the people who has mentor us. I can say thanks to My Mother,My Aunt Jerry, My Aunt Glo, Mother Graham, and Aunt Ida Mae read Titus 2:3-5,The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. They have touch my life in a great way, I just want to say thank you all. I have had great men who mentor me also,along the way, My husband Larrie,Brother Graham , and my oldest Brother William (Marty) and many others. Larrie always told me that I was a strong woman, brother Graham always told me to stay in the word, and my oldest brother always told be to do my best!  My daughter is also a mentor for me, she tells me mother you can not do everything for everybody. I would like to thank all the mentors!  Can you be a mentor and touch someones life? This is a command given to us by God! I think that mentoring is the same as discipleship, even though we may use different terms.  Discipleship as a term may not be a functional term in the business world, but the concept is still the same- investing in others.Who are you investing God;s word in?Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
