The Shack part 2

I just finished reading this book today and absolutley loved it! It is a very thought provoking book with a great story and lots of inspiration! Theses two quotes are my second and third favorite quotes in this book. Although there were many others, these were the ones that stuck out the most to me!

".....Nobody know what horrors I have saved the world from 'cuz people can't see what never happened. All evil flows from independence, and independence is your choice. If I were to simply revoke all the choice of independence, the world as you know it would cease to exist and love would have no meaning. This world is not a playground where I keep all my children free from evil. Evil is the chaos of this age that you brought to me, but it will not have the final say. Now it touches everyone that I love, those who follow me and those who don't. If I take away the consequences of people's choices, I destroy the possibility of love. Love that is forces in no love at all". -God



".....Paradigms power perception and perception power emotions. Most emotions are responses to perception- what you think is true about a given situation. If your perception is false, then your emotional response to it will be false too. So check your perception, and beyond that check the truthfulness of your paradigms- what you believe. Just because you believe something firmly doens't make it true. Be willing to reexamine what your believe. The more you live in the truth, the more your emotions will help you see clearly. But even then, you don't want to trust them more then me." -God
