Reading "The Shack" in Sept 08 made an impression on me.
Somehow I think that I only use a small portion of my brain to fully understand about life and why God put me here. I keep trying to look deeper in my brain to find that small part that I have not yet discovered. Maybe if I roll my eyes back just right while thinking of nothing - I can achieve greater awareness - lol. I don't know... but looking at the whole scheme of things, we must look so pathetic going about life making silly mistakes and stumbling along until we finally learn one small lesson at a time. Whether the lesson is forgiveness, kindness, patience, hope, perspective and so on.
Maybe that is our ultimate purpose: to learn each day small lessons that will build our intimacy with Him. Even through our pathetic lives, He loves us deeply and is willing to stick by and guide us gently like a shepherd.
