They were there
when I was dumped.
-
They were there
-
when my artist career
didn't happen.
-
They were there
when Ied my friend
-
to Jesus.
-
They were there
when I met the girl
-
who would
become my wife.
-
And they rejoiced
with us
-
when we had our baby.
-
They helped me
to get to know Jesus
-
– and to live with God
in my everyday life.
-
They helped me to
lower my shoulders.
-
They showed me
from the Bible
-
that I am loved
by God
-
– He who created me.
-
I had had mentors
before,
-
but now I got a
-
spiritual mother
and father.
-
They gave up
their day off
-
to help me when
I was in crisis.
-
They asked God
-
on how they
could help me
-
one step further.
-
They gave me hope
when hope was gone.
-
They encouraged me
-
when I was
discouraged.
-
And they
showed me
-
that people long to
get to know
-
God.
-
I saw that
they discipled
-
ordinary people
-
to become
mature leaders
-
in just a year.
-
And they helped
me to become a leader.
-
They told me
the truth
-
in love –
-
even if it hurt –
-
so I could grow!
-
They discipled me
-
to disciple others.
-
They have
showed me
-
how to love God
-
and how to
love people.
-
So, how is it
to be discipled?
-
Yes,
-
God sent someone
-
to invest in me
-
so I can invest
in others.
