I really enjoyed this part of the book today....
"...Just b/c you make horrendous and destructive choices does not mean you deserve less respect for what you inherently are-the pinnacle of my Creation and the center of my affection."
"...my purposes are not for my comfort, or yours. My purposes are always and only an expression of love. I purpose to work life out of death, to bring freedom out of brokenness and turn darkness into light. What you see as chaos, I see as a fractal."
Faith never knows where it is being led, But it knows and loves the One who is leading. - Oswald Chambers
My love and faith are growing deeper. I still have far to go - but receive JOY knowing that He cares for me and that He has got it all under control

That first one brought tears to my eyes! I forget that ALL the time. We are his lovely bride and he is a perfect husband. Even my own earthly husband forgives what is hideous about me because he is in love with me...So how much more a perfect God. Ah, this is what I needed to hear this morning. Thanks! I loved all the quotes.
i'm reading this too right now ... hope to finish it on the way home if we drive in the light. ;)
good stuff ... love the love relationship the book represents between God and us. still considering the all the interworkings of the trinity but definitely a thought-provoking read.
Okay...you are now in my google reader so I won't lose you!
I have debated reading this book...I love these quotes.
I so enjoyed this book! Even more so Paul's blog tho...check it out... he has some more story!
I'm glad you're reading this. I personally connected with the pictuer he painted of God being a big black woman, greeting him with a strong loving, familiar hug. I needed that picture at the time I was reading the Shack, as I was facing alot of anger at God. Hhmmm... maybe TMI for blog comments... we'll talk sometime!! :)
i love love love this book. i need to find the quote that i wrote down from the book and post it.
