“Immature teachers don’t ask this question—is God giving what I carry to this person right now in their life? Or am i just needing to share it. Or is He imparting another aspect of Himself, through someone else. They just want to teach what they carry, regardless of whether their seeds are useful. But the wise teacher waits for the good soil, the teachable student who both needs and wants to learn what they carry! And the wise teacher then learns what they themselves have to teach in wisdom.”
(Medieval monk scholar from a diary entry called, “Be careful when and who you teach”. If your seeds are meant for that person, you also will be transformed by it as well, was his basic idea. Nice!)
