When you have a dream and you feel like the meaning is about cowardliness, it gets your attention. In the same dream you feel directed to pick up the pen, a message you have felt before. So it was with me. This time I had just finished reading The Shack by William P. Young. I loved it, but I knew there was controversy surrounding the recently released movie. I don't like controversy, and I certainly did not want to write my opinion down for someone to see. Yet here I am.
I really, really liked the message in this book. Sure some things shocked me at first but as I read I began to see the big picture. God is good! He is creative. He is personal. He is relevant, and he is "especially fond of me!"
He can do the impossible. He can be the impossible. He, or she as the book presents, is not daunted by anything - time, person, circumstance - nothing, not even a hidden murder.
I understood love, devotion, and relationship in such a new way by reading this book. I grasped the depths to devotion - to adore with no concern for what others think. Relationship, relationship, oh relationship, is the root of love.
I tasted of the Eternal One's limitlessness. I tasted of his love for me. The trinity became alive for me and to even think of the possibility that God himself carries the marks of the cross on him. Scandalous but oh so deep is the love.
Jesus and the Spirit .. I could go on.
Read and decide for yourself.
