Richard Foster says:
“Spiritual directorship is a Christian idea. It means having someone who can read my soul and give me guidance in my walk with Christ. Many churches call it “discipleship.”
Man, that is what I so strongly need..and what I so strongly run away from at the same time. How scary is it to know someone so well that they can read your soul? Was reading in Acts 4:35 ish where it says that all the believers were of heart and mind (probably a bad paraphrase there, I don’t have a Bible next to me here…) What a beautiful picture of a community of believers. How many of us can say that we have a spiritual director who can read our souls and give us guidence in the context of a community of believers who are of one heart and soul…I think this is something that I have tasted a small piece of in the last year. Its been so rewarding…
