...All I want from you is to trust me with what little you can,
and grow in loving people around you with the same love I share with you.
It's not your job to change them, or to convince them.
You are free to love without an agenda.
-taken from The Shack
(I've decided to finish it. And I'm so glad I did...)
and then there's this, which seem to go hand in hand with the other thing:
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully
as when they do it from a religious conviction.
-Blaise Pascal
Just ask anyone who has been "ministered to" from that angle.
Or ask someone who has been on the giving end.
I've been on both.
Ugh.

Isn't The Shack such an amazing book??? I absolutely loved it. Next on my reading list: The Last Lecture.
P.S. Another great book is A Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George.
Hello my friend! I hope you're having an amazing New Year's Eve!
Okay, I am bent now: I want to read this book. I have heard of it several times, and I keep unintentionally dismissing it. I am convinced. Thanks for sharing the quotes.
