Point people to focus on Jesus

Mentoring and follow up is something I feel very strongly about. However, I find this passion tapering off in the course of the last 2 years. I find myself not being empowered to have that sort of influence over the lives of others though many people would just advise to lead a life for people to model after.

I think mentoring is more than that. I find that this authority must be given by God. My DGL also told me it's a 2 way thing; the mentee needs to have to desire to be mentored.

WHile I was thinking more about this issue, I was reminded once again that in whatever we do, we do not want to take the place of God. All we are required to do is to point people to Jesus, direct people to rely on Jesus, to trust and believe in Jesus. Sometimes, we need to be Jesus' physical body to those who are not able to experience Jesus yet, but eventually, there is a need to let go. It is good for us too, that we don't get bog down by matters that we humanly cannot handle.
