joy, unspesakable joy

i recently read "the shack." take it for what you will, but for the first time it helped me understand that i was created to be in relarionship with God...that means actual relationship. and for the first time i realized that ALL my sins are actually forgiven. i won't be judged in heaven! WOW! that's almost a new concept. i don't live for righteousness so that i can get a "better" place in heaven - i live for righteousness out of love for the one that saved me.
