Do you have a mentor?

It seems to me that we all need guidance in life. I have 2 people at work who have helped me grow smarter in business and also in counseling others. I would not, however, consider them mentors. I also have plenty of friends who help me through life, some older and some close to my age--a few younger than myself--who teach me strong lessons in life. But a mentor is one who spends time with you in order to help you grow. Not grow with you--for "a student is not above his teacher" (Matt 10:24). This doesn't mean the mentor no longer grows. On the contrary--if he doesn't grow, how will he help you to grow? How can he expect you to grow?

My mentor was helping me grow well before I knew it. (He had plans for me..) I knew he was teaching me "Bible stuff", but he was also teaching me about faith. He baptized me, and has continued to teach me and to develop me spiritually into a teacher and a servant. May this work never grow tired.

I encourage all who read this to find a mentor, and to become a mentor. If you have a mentor, comment and describe (briefly).
