Dear Friends

The whisperings of revolution are everywhere–the desire for a deep and true intimacy with God, surpassing the formulas and programmes of our past. You and I have shared this yearning at some stage. Maybe we are old friends who regularly meet around a cup-o-something, or perhaps we had a fleeting conversation on an aeroplane where we stirred and encouraged each other to seek Him with all our heart. With this desire uniting us, I have taken the liberty to subscribe you to the Lightseeker newsletter/online discussion.

At least once every week you will receive a post right in your Inbox, themed around our relationship with God and each other. As much as I enjoy reading online devotionals, I did not want to write another one, but rather create a conversation with more meaning. Even as I compose this very first announcement there is a sense that He wants to draw us into the mystery, Christ in us. Away from our set principles, and into the beautiful simplicity of a childlike walk with Him. It is my dream that we will shift radically in the days and moments that lie ahead, and that this discussion would play some part in the revolution.

Whilst technology can never substitute true relationship, I want to encourage you, in the weeks to come, to share your thoughts with us by clicking through and commenting online. Your contribution is a vital part of the story Father is writing through our lives–it has the power to move and inspire us.

So, whether you call it practising the presence, a conversational walk with God or passionate abandonment to Him alone, this discussion is for you, fellow seeker. May He speak to your heart, and may you in turn encourage us by sharing your story.

Till next week, when the first “official” newsletter will be coming your way.

Glory to Him
