Good and Evil

I am about two chapters short of finishing The Shack. If you are breathing, I recommend this book to you. Although this book is fiction, the author relates God in such an amazingly loving, kind, accepting, real persona, who could resist a relationship with Him. The Shack is a metaphor for the place we hide our pain or shame. The short explanation of the book is one man’s journey to God through the suffering of the loss of a child.

I learned and relearned so much from this book I could go on and on…and probably will in another blog, but for now it was how WE judge what is good and evil. When you really think about it, we can and do, judge the same thing good at one point or time in our lives and bad at another. Even people in our lives, we judge as being good for us at one time, then later somehow not so much.

How can the loss of a child ever be seen as good? How can mass devastation ever be seen as good? I don’t believe it can, but I do believe that God brings good things out of bad situations. So many people blame God for the bad things that happen…sometimes even people that never even acknowledged God before, but now He is to blame. We have become good at judging…how sad.

I’m sharing because I found the book to bring out so much thought for me that I can’t get enough. I love to learn, I love to learn about God and my relationship with Him. I feel so blessed and I know my blessings come from God.

May God bless you and yours!
