A Beautiful Exchange

If there is one thing I learned from my first mentor, Mike, it is that mentoring and discipleship is something to be done in the context of life and not in a hurry .   It was not a box to be checked but time to be set aside .   It was an investment of Mike's life into mine and, honestly, as it turns out, an investment of my life into Mikes .   Since I experience God differently than Mike, he learned things from me too .   It's  important to understand that every time you pour your Jesus life into someone else, you will, in return, have their Jesus Life poured into you .   This interchange is part of the process of disciple-making .   Mentoring with  discipleship takes time, but it is an investment that pays lifelong  & eternal  rewards .   Pour your Jesus life into someone and watch them pour back into you .   It will change your life for the better.
