In the 12th chapter of the book titled The Shack, Jesus is talking to Mack and at the end of an interesting discussion, Jesus says:
"Remember, the people who know me are the ones who are free to live and love without any agenda."
Since Papa God is the One & only who can truly heal and transform people; shifting their paradigms without manipulation, guilt, shame, condemnation or control . . . why don't we let Him do what He does best? That way we can simply witness His love to all by freely living and loving all we meet without agenda. It's not our job to change others (look at all the messes that has gotten us into!).
Really, we don't even have a job, per se, as this walk of faith goes. As a follower of Jesus, I am invited into narrative and journey in relationship with Him. To know Him more and make Him more known is the invitation . . . the wooing . . .
So for me the challenge is to "let go and let God"; Living Free and Loving without agenda.
Could it be that the invitation and wooing can be more clearly heard when we walk in such freedom and love?
