First, a couple loose ends from the April 5 conversation. What do we make of these comments by Papa to Mack on Page 189 (191):
Faith does not grow in the house of certainty. (Page 189 [191])
People are tenacious when it comes to the treasure of their imaginary independence.
These lines are from Chapter 13 - which is aptly called A Meeting of Hearts. There is so much to reflect on here. Papa says of Jesus: In him ... our purpose and your destiny are forever linked. (Page 192 [193].)
And another line on Page 190 [192]: I understand how difficult it is for you, so lost in your perceptions of reality and yet so sure of your own judgments, to even begin to perceive, let alone imagine, who real love and goodness are.
As we head into Chapter 14, some other interesting questions begin to emerge. For example:
- How do you detect the presence and/or guidance of the Holy Spirit? (195 [197].)
- Paradigms power perception and perceptions power emotions. (197 [199].)
- Which do you tend to be more comfortable with - rules, or relationships? (197-199 [199-201].)
- Those who are afraid of freedom are those who cannot trust us (the Trinity) to live in them. (203 [205].)
- Complete the sentence: God is ________________ .
- What expectations has God placed on you? (206 [208].)
