Mentorship per Wikipedia is described as a developmental relationship between a more experienced mentor and a less experienced partner reffered to as a protege- a person guided and protected by a more prominent person".
James 5:10 says this (message) Take the old prophets as your mentors. They put up with anything, went through everything, and never once quit, all the time honoring God. What a gift life is to those who stay the course!
A mentor is a gift! A dying gift in today's world.
Anyone who I ever council one of the first things I ask is "Who's your mentor" (in a Who's your daddy? kinda way).
I think when you live life without a mentor, your live a life that is LESS.
Less exciting
Less challenging
Less influential
Just plain Less
God brings others into your lives to equip, challenge and encourage.
My favorite movie of all time is ROCKY. I believe in heaven 24/7 there will be a private mansion playing rocky 1-4 (skipping the last 2) for all of eternity. But that's just me.
There's a line where paully (rocky's brother in law) dares to ask Rocky what he see's in his sister. Rocky looks and him and says in a low mumble only true fans can understand.
"We fill gaps. She's got gaps, I got gaps...together we fill gaps".
Well said Rock.....Well said...
A mentor fills gaps.
Live a full life, find a mentor
To be continued....
