Several years back, my buddy John Hobbs and I decided to attend Larry Crabb's School of Spiritual Direction held in Colorado Springs at Glen Eyrie. It was one of the most memorable ten-day stretches of my ministry.
I have always been encouraged and challenged by Crabb's books and writings and being in a small group of thirty people in that setting was a remarkable experience. His thoughts on the communal relationship of the Trinity has given me greater understanding of God and his desire for us to live in genuine relationship with Him and each other. Here's a quote from him that has helped me gain some much-needed perspective as an apprentice of Jesus. “God is in eternal community, a radically other-centered relationship where the Father is always saying, Isn't my Son something?! The Son's always saying, Look at the Father. And the Spirit is always saying, Look at Jesus.” I have to ask myself: Since the Spirit of God indwells, empowers, and energizes me, does my life say, "Look at Jesus" or does it say, "Look at me?" I know what I want to say.
