in moderation.

i'm sure all of us haf seen movements of water.
be it a trickle,
or a splash.
it is no stranger to us, is it?

as i was bathing,
a train of thought came trudging into my head.
at first, it was pertaining to evangelism..
and den i realised it could be applied in mentorship as well.

"information overload"
we've heard or seen dis phrase
a tad too many times.
it kinda makes sense, but we somehow insist our ways.

a drop of water travel a further way,
in comparison wif a splash.
we wouldn't wanna just clock as many pple we talked to,
than going in depth in r/s wif one new believer.

sometimes, we being impatient beings
tend to just pour out our years of bible knowledge
and christian experiences to new or non believers.
and den move on to the next person..

simply because its easier to splash than to trickle!
wif a splash, we cover a big surface area.
but nvr going far.
and it dries up quick enough..

but it takes an awful lot of patience and love
to slowly and consistently channel water onto the same track.
where water is 'dripped' at the same spot,
letting water find its way through a disciplined line.

and once the 'path' is paved,
water will find that its much easier to travel through,
and wif that, it can travel even further,
not having to worry that the path it left behind will dry up.

likewise, when we're patient enough to 'walk through' wif them
we won't need to be afraid that they'll haf shallow faith, would we?
so let us press on to serve them,
in patience and humility and wisdom.
