Our Need For Forgiveness

A few weeks ago, I read The Shack. It is a fictional story that speaks volumes about grace and forgiveness. I won't go into details (this would ruin the book) but the story tellingly gives an account of the power of evil and how forgiveness is essential to fully overcome evil. The story represents God in three persons who are one (Blessed Trinity) who care for us, walks with us, and is always there for us in the deepest and darkest of times. In the story, the author beautifully presents how God interacts with us and is constantly working out our forgiveness for us. As I finished the book, I was touched to the point of tears and had a new wave of understanding and of forgiveness come over me.
