On Spiritual Direction...

Sibyl Towner is the director of spiritual mentoring at Willow Creek church in the States. She made this comment in an article I read recently on offering spiritual direction to others. That it is simply, "helping people to notice and respond to the activity of God in their lives." I thought this a wonderful observation as too often in leading people in their relationship with Christ, we focus on what we know about Christ and what we know about people in general, rather than focusing on what Christ is doing right now in their life.
