Mentoring

My Question for God

What are the blessings of encouraging godliness in younger generations?

A Moment with God

As for you, Titus, promote the kind of living that reflects wholesome teaching. Teach the older men to exercise self-control, to be worthy of respect, and to live wisely. They must have sound faith and be filled with love and patience. Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that honors God. They must not slander others or be heavy drinkers. Instead, they should teach others what is good. These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes, to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God. In the same way, encourage the young men to live wisely. And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching. Teach the truth so that your teaching can’t be criticized. Then those who oppose us will be ashamed and have nothing bad to say about us.

Titus 2:1-8

A mentoring relationship has the specific purpose of teaching and learning. Good mentors commit to building a relationship with someone younger or with less life experience. Through this relationship, mentors share wisdom, life experience, and support in hopes of helping the ones they are mentoring to learn and grow. Similarly, God sent the Holy Spirit as your spiritual mentor. Through the Spirit, God helps you to build a relationship with him and guides you into wisdom, maturity, and understanding. Mentoring or being mentored is a powerful way to experience divine moments because it requires you to spend time with another for the purpose of learning about God.

Divine Promise

Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Matthew 11:29
