MY LIFE...: The Shack

The Shack

I finally finished reading The Shack, which makes me feel good because it is not easy for me to finish anything.

About the book...
I know that there is a lot of controversy about this book but the way I see it is that if you don't take it to heart and believe that this is a true story I don't see the harm in it.
The author tells us from the beginning that this is a fiction story, even dough some of Mack's pain are very real in the actors life.

I'm not a critic but I finding it charming and heart-warming story. This is just another book with a good message for someone who's going through hard times.
This is not a book that is trying to substitute the Bible, this is just a good fiction story.

Thank You Mama for Praying for Me

Somebody somewhere was praying that night,
When Jesus came in and I saw the light.
It must have been mama, I've heard her before,
As she knelt by her bedside Her tears touched the floor.

She held to the altar and wouldn't give in
’Till she knew all her children have been born again.
Just an old fashion mama, But she loved the Lord.
As her prayers touched the Master, her tears touched the floor.

Thank you mama for praying for me.
If you had not prayed then where would I be?
They called you old fashion, but you loved the Lord.
As your prayers touched the Master, your tears touched the floor.

Come to the Cross

Have you come to the cross of Jesus
And seen His nail pierced hands?
Have you realized the sacrifice
Included in God’s plans?
That blood shed on Calvary’s mountain,
To cleanse and make hearts new,
Was the love of our God in action…
Love for me and for you.

Have you felt the touch of the Master
And sensed His presence near?
Has He revealed His hand of mercy –
Removed your sin and fear?
If not, come to the cross of Jesus
And start your life anew;
Come, just as you are, my friend…
He died for me and you.

Have you seen the open, empty tomb?
Do you know He’s alive?
Have you entered into His kingdom,
Great blessings to derive?
If not, Come to the Cross of Jesus,
Turn from sin – be made new;
The precious blood on that old rugged tree…
Was for you, yes, For You.

“Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and he was buried,
and he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”
“If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.”
(I Cor. 15:3-4; Rom. 10:9)
