6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. ~ Proverbs 22:6
In today’s world, so many young people are growing up without true role models. Their role models are celebrities, athletes, and other people who are far off and don’t know their names. I challenge you this Christmas to take the time out and mentor someone as God took the time to mentor you.
God could’ve left us on our own. He could’ve left us in our own filth and ignorance, but out of His own love for us, He set aside everything and became man. He took the form of an innocent baby, and every year at Christmas, we take the time to remember and celebrate His first sacrifice. We celebrate Him becoming our greatest mentor.
None of us were born knowing Christ; we all had to learn. We all had to be taught. We all had to be mentored.
Statics say that:
-
- 55% of young adults with a mentor are less likely than their peers to skip a day of school
- 78% – more likely to volunteer regularly
- 90% – are interested in becoming a mentor themselves
- 130% – are more likely to hold leadership positions
So many of us have become spiritually lazy and spiritually asleep that we don’t even see the impact that we could make in our own community. This Christmas, think about becoming a mentor. Don’t just give a physical gift and call it a day. Give something that is priceless, your time and knowledge of Christ. Let the tradition of self-sacrificing for the sake of another continue.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Follow in God’s Footsteps.
