Another Revelation

So today i have just finished reading the most inspirational and inspiring book of my life...or say of my entire being....(ok so dont mind me using inspirational and inspiring in the same sentence)

so seriously...how do i explain it...how do i let you understand such revelation...that can only come from Gods love....oh my!!!! i am stammering in my thoughts...because my words fail me on where to start exactly.....

so firstly the name of this book is called "The Shack".....by WM Paul Young...so this book is not fiction of any sort but based on the true story of a man who had an encounter with God in an old shack.....

and ohhh did he bombard God with a lot of questions that we find ourselves asking today
ok so i wont be telling you everything that happened in the book as i want you to read it
but i will be quoting some text from it and just pinpointing what i gained and what captured my being, Although i bet there re somethings i would mention and you would probably be like i knew that already.....but i will state them anyway.....loll

1.that God loves us more than we could ever imagine....i mean more than our being can fathom and although we dont deserve it....he does

2..that God dosent have an expectation of us as he made us remember...(he knows what you re capable of ) but he gives you freewill...(choice) to fellowship with him

3. Jesus christ is God in Humanly form..(Can you believe that...he left the splendour of his heavens to be judged by men)...

4.that everystep of our journey in life...God is actually really with us....(I mean every step of the way practically) even though we cant always tell....

5. that we re incalpable of fulfiling any love to others in christ except through christ himself...

6. that no matter how smart, successful or independent you try to be...you can not live this life without solemnly relying on God...

7.that God dwells with us in the present.....so worrying about your future or something that happened in the past has no point...as the present is what matters...

8..that from every evil or disappointment that happens in our world...even though its not God's intention...he finds a way to redeem you back into a path of good

9..that darkness hides the true size of fears and lies....the truth is they re more shadow than reality, so they seem bigger in the dark...when light shines into the places that live inside us we start to see it for what it is...

10..that in our pain we assume the worst of God
11..that God is not big on religion but into a relationship with him...
12..that God will travel any road to find us....

13.. that the bible tells us about Jesus christ and the way he lived...not so that we could copy him....but to learn that he lived a perfect life in christ because he submitted all to the father...either good or evil....(which us has humans never do...we include him in the start and all of a sudden when the bad comes...we re thinking that cant be God).....its about leaving it all to him...either death or sickness or a loss of job...or death of a loved one....

as it quotes in page 136 has God explains what happens without him in our lives

Both evil and darkness can only be understood in relation to light and Good; they do not have any actual existence. I am Light and I am Good..I am love and there is no darkness in me..Light and Good actually exist. so removing yourself from me will plunge you into darkness..Declaring Independence will result in evil because apart from me you can only draw upon yourself..that is death because you have separated yourself from me life......

Do you get this....as we re in darkness without God.....its like a race, we keep going in circles but never reaching the finishing line....just going round and round.....at the end of it...we get exhausted but we still keep looking for the finish line...which we could never find....unless God was there to guide us.....

i urge you to please read this book and let me know what you think as i am seriously perplexed at how simple our God is....how he is not into hierarchy or power of any sort....but how he is full of pure everlasting love.....

"for we should not be conformed to the things of this world"...or about how we should live our life in christ but in all things we should do in accordance to the spirit of God that lives in us...and to seek knowledge from the father who has created us.....

Time

oh how time flies....
how i remember those times
those fun exciting times
when we use to be so excited to meet
taking turns whose house it was next to meet....

Oh...how we use to talk about our then boyfriends now our husbands....
Oh...how we use to endlessly chat on emails with laughter at work....
Oh...how we use to laugh so hard our tummy would hurt
Oh...how we use to laugh so hard with tears running down our eyes
how we use to watch dvds about men cheating and debated all night about what we would do to a man that treated us that way.....
oh..how we had good men.....has lovers........
Oh how i remember those memories of us......
how life was much happier...
more peaceful.....
more loveable.......
more content.......

how we thought marriage will make us better friends....
how we were so excited about our girls night outs and night ins....
how we gisted till day break.....
how exciting we day dreamed about our all girls vacations...
how we daydreamed about our kids becoming best friends....
how we hoped our husbands would be best friends.....
how we shared our latest dread life was throwing our way.....
how we consoled each other....
how we prayed together
Ohhhh how sincerely we loved each other.....

now i know time does fly....
how those times seem like a very distant memory in another life..
ohhh how our marriages opened doors to another life....
ohhhh how it takes a ache and a large amount of self control to keep in touch....
ohhh how life has dished us different passages of it own.....
ohhhh how i miss us....oh how i miss those times.......

ohhhh how i wish time could be reversed.....
ohhhh how i wish moments could be replayed.....
ohhhh how i wish we could forever keep in touch like we use to.....
ohhhhh how i know as much as times cannot be reversed....they re so treasured......
