As Christians, we are soldiers in the army of God. Paul tells us in Ephesians 6:13-17 to put on the armor of God. With these pictures in mind, I began to think about the knights of old. In order to be the best swordsmen, a knight would have to practice his skills with a sword. Some of it he could do by himself, but it worked better if he had another person to work with. The best way for a knight to improve his swordsmanship was to “fight” against someone more experienced than he. He would learn more and become better at it this way. Likewise, Christians can learn about God and grow their faith in Him by reading and studying the Bible on their own and going to church, but there is so much more we can gain learning from other Christians. One of the beautiful things about this I mentioned in an earlier post, you don’t have to be a certain age to help someone in their walk with the Lord. Even as a young woman, there are things I can teach the girls younger than me. I’m not perfect, I don’t have it all figured out, but I can come alongside other young ladies and assist them in preparing for the battle to come. I get excited when I think about this. If we are all striving to help each other become godly women, there is a stronger hope of the future generations being stronger Christians.
If you’re still not sure you could be a mentor and assist young ladies in this way, I would encourage you to remember that “God doesn’t call perfect people to be mentors”, and then consider joining me and many other women on October 2 or 3 for Passing the Truth Along Mentoring Seminar in Sumas, Washington. It will be a day filled with encouragement and teaching on how to mentor young women. Our guest speaker, Amy Vest, is a young woman herself who has been mentoring girls younger than herself for the past 9 years. The link to her website, Loving the Lord Ministries, is on the sidebar.
