Discipleship Is

Discipleship is giving unconditionally
Expecting no acknowledgement or thank you,
Hoping the person or people will understand Jesus' light.

Discipleship is listening without criticism
Not suggesting, not commanding,
Learning and sending light like the Holy Spirit does.

Discipleship is introducing rather than leading
Discipleship is inviting rather than demanding
Discipleship is allowing people to make up their own minds

Discipleship is encouragement.
Discipleship is helping, nurturing, loving.
Discipleship is not being bossy or demanding in any way.

Those who come to Godliness in their own time
In their own way bring the most to the table.
For they have been in other places, and can
teach by example as you have.

So true my friend! I especially love your words of wisdom in the third stanza. I often present programs on discipleship. Your stanza clearly says what I try to convey. Really nice!
