a gem of Wisdom from "The Shack"

This is a gem of Wisdom from the book "The Shack" which i need to remember more often than I'd like to admit...

"... my love is a lot bigger than your stupidity"

Papa to Mack

Love Shack

Yesterday was amazing. I am still swimming in the sea of Love and Grace and Healing we experienced together at newhope church. Mr. Paul Young, author of the amazing book entitled "The Shack", shared his story with us. I am still in awe of the Work of Papa in his life. We felt the Spirit move strongly in the house. The message and demonstration of God's healing and re-creative Power that we experienced changed lives. We will never be the same. I encourage you, if you were not present with us at newhope church yesterday, to listen to Paul's story here at newhopenc.org. I hope God's Spirit speaks to you the words you need. You will never be the same again. And once again, I want to share one of my favorite quotes from "The Shack", words that paint a beautiful picture of the Kingdom into which we are called to be a part:

"Mack, if anything matters then everything matters. Because you are important, everything you do is important. Every time you forgive, the universe changes; every time you reach out and touch a heart or a life, the world changes; with every kindness and service, seen or unseen, my purposes are accomplished and nothing will ever be the same again." -- Sarayu

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Amen

If you have not read this book, get a copy and read it! It is an exceptional parable on the Person and Nature of God and His relationship with us. I am in awe at the reverence and love the author put into writing this wonderful story. I am inspired and challenged by this story. Please read it, and spread the word to everyone you know. This story will change lives.
