Pour Into Someone

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.
