One of the faithbuilders is Serving Others. This is so true! He inquired regarding who had been on a missions trip, noted that many raised their hands, and then discussed how few people will view that time spent as a waste. Mentoring is much the same! Although it does have a cost of time and energy invested, most often there is immediate fulfillment from that time spent. The mentor might feel mentally or emotionally taxed at times, but there is a feeling of satisfaction from that type of relationship and servanthood that cannot be explained. It also cannot truly be understood by another unless they have experienced serving in a similar relationship. More on this at a later date... :) A good bit of this falls in line with what Michael talked about this past weekend in his Remix of FAITH & DOUBT. One of the faithbuilders is Serving Others.

The mentored receives the loving care and concern from the mentor... and the mentor receives the benefit of selflessness. The optimum motivation and action of the mentor is to NOT "give to get"...just GIVE. Discipleship is personal and is the only way to do it. Jesus modeled it and simplified it for us and all parties are very Blessed in the process. Plant the seeds and HE will do the harvesting...
