Hello havians, happy new month good to be here hope your day is splendid. Welcome to the month of June first half of the year.
THE SHACK. [source] (
Story of a man who spent his weekend in The Shack.
When things happen we ask God a lot of questions, we feel like God hate us, we become angry with God. We say a lot of things like why me, why did God allow this to happen where were God when this happen, he is a partial God if he is God let him proof himself. But the fact still remains all this can not change God he still remain God forever he still love us unconditional. Even the wicked one we are praying for them to die, is God favorite they are still love by God equally.
So today I want to share a little summary of a movie I watched in this movies /TVshow community titled THE SHACK. I love this movie and I long to watch it again and again there is a very big lesson to learn in this movie. This past month I have gone through a lot that within me I do loss hope and courage and a lot of questions runs through my mind and this has temper with my concentration and focus until one of my friend introduce this movie to me first I refuse to watch the movie but she persuaded I watch so I decided to watch it. Ever since I watch the movie, my hope, courage everything in me stir up.
I discovered that all the things that happened to me, the question, the hatred and bitterness in me all of them were solve in this movie I got my answers still in this movie. I also discovered that nothing take God by surprise, God is not wicked, God does not hate as we think. God love towards us is unconditional the same way he loves us is the same way he love the wicked people around us his wish is not to loss any soul in condemnation. This is why when things happen and we know the person behind the happening we wish to kill the person or let the person suffer the consequences but God does not think that way he is a forgiving God and he always listen to us.

After enough arguing he then make up his mind to visit The Shack, on reaching there he was like being discouraged but as a man he strengthen himself and move in finally mate with papa but he was disbelief because according to our belief papa (God) suppose to a being like light that we can't talk to face to face but unfortunately he was disappointed because this "papa" didn't appear that way. Papa was in form of a man that wear cloth, cook, eat, talk, play, laugh so Mark mind was full with a lot of questions but he overlooked it since that was what took him there. He asked papa (God) why he is so wicked to him, and why he allow his special daughter to die?

And he papa answered him that he didn't kill her daughter but the evil men among him did. On hearing this Mark was very angry with God why should God allowed the wicked men to go unpunished, but papa (God) smile and told him he still love them. This answer get Mark upset he left God but he was stopped by Jesus the light, truth, love and life. Jesus told that he love him all that ( he) Mark need is to allow him to be the center of his life this he shows him instances this encounter change Mark and he believe in God the fear and anger was taken away from Mark. After which he was taken to a judgment throne He was to be a judge in a second. He should the happening in the world Mark was full with bitterness all he could say was that the evil people in the world should perish in hell but the judge didn't accept it because he still love even the sinner, murderer, thief so he couldn't allow them perish in hell.
Mark on the judgment throne.
Mark was order to choose from his two children Kate daughter and Josh his son , one his child will go to heaven while the other will go to hell since he think God should punish any one that commit an offenses. And Mark two children were disobedience, liars and very stubborn so Mark couldn't condemn any of his children he will rather give his life in state of his children. the judge then told Mark what it mean for God to judge and being a loving God he can't allow any of his child to perish or be condemn.
Mark was given a second chance to leave and amend his ways. After the encounter Mark life change he was happy again, from that time on Mark put on a forgiving lifestyle he forgive any one That offend him he leave a good life.
Lesson : no matter what you pass through in life always talk to your father he is always listening, quick in forgiving, love every one you come across because this is the greatest 'LOVE'. Don't let your condition weigh you down put on courage, be strong and handle that situation come out a Victor.

I love movies that help me feel closer to God. This was a great movie. I'm glad someone made a review about it. Most people would think it'd be boring when you just see a man spending time in the shack alone but it's far from that. This was an awesome review, loved it
