Week 4 Day 2 : MENTOR

I hope everyone had a chance to be a mentor yesterday. Whether you did or not, you can still be one today. Go for it.

 

Today’s MENTOR of the day is:

Mr. Miyagi!!!!!!! This guy is the man. He took a pipsqueak like Daniel-San and made him into… well… a pipsqueak who won a few karate matches. My favorite part was when Mr. Miyagi beat up all those dudes dressed as skeletons. Remember that Daniel was dressed like a shower and poured water into the stall while Johnny was going #2? That was a good trick, but if you can’t run fast, it’ll only end up costing you in the end. Think about that before trying it yourself.

 

We’ll all be spiritual Mr. Miyagis today. There are hundreds of Daniel-Sans out there getting beat up and embarrassed, and being called a loser, and not quite getting the girls, and hiding their black eyes form their moms, and playing soccer in this world. They need you as a mentor. Tell somebody to paint your fence or wax your car today. Also, teach them the art of the crane-kick. But in all seriousness, Mr. Miyagi helped Daniel a lot. He taught him essential moves, discipline, and to believe in himself. Likewise, you will be teaching your protégés knowledge of God, disciplines (reading, praying, etc.), and to believe in Jesus. There’s nothing better you can do with your time. 

 

Your challenge is this: take a spiritual pipsqueak and develop him/her into a more intimate follower of Christ. They’ll still be a pipsqueak (we all are), but will be closer to and more like Christ.
