my friend, Tisha, is reading THE SHACK. and posted the following on her blog...it's good. real good.
"Oh my goodness, those "rights" of ours. The tighter we cling to them, the more easily offended we will be. The more easily offended we are the more sensitive we will be. The more sensitive we are the less mercy, grace, longsuffering, kindness, benevolence, gentleness we will be capable of extending to others.
How many times does our perception of our rights being infringed upon get us into conflict, hurt feelings, relational turmoil? How often does someone do something to us, something we felt they had no right to do and we are then angry, disturbed, annoyed? How many times are wedges driven into relationships with loved ones or friends, acquaintences or even strangers because of our desire to hold fast to our rights?"
hmmm...

LOVE the shack! :)
This is so interesting how God does this. It's been mentioned twice now the last two weeks of my Weds. AM biblestudy, and now here it is again, seeing it mentioned in another source. I think I'm getting the message!!! :)
