Love always leaves a significant mark.
William P. Young
You are a beautiful mess, you are the melody.
William P. Young
I believe that, that Christ became sin for us.
William P. Young
Much as I venerate the name of Newton, I am not obliged to believe that he was infallible. I see ... with regret that he was liable to err, and that his authority has, perhaps, sometimes even retarded the progress of science.
William P. Young
when I live in you, then together we can live through everything that happens to you.
William P. Young
Forgiveness in no way requires that you trust the one you forgive.
William P. Young
It is remarkable how a seemingly insignificant action or event can change entire lives.
William P. Young
Life takes a bit of time and a lot of relationship.
William P. Young
those who are afraid of freedom are those who cannot trust us to live in them. Trying to keep the law is actually a declaration of independence, a way of keeping control
William P. Young
Even though you can't finally grasp me, guess what? I still want to be known.
William P. Young
We've created a theology in the West of a God who is fundamentally self-centered. The imagery of God as distant, unapproachable, unreachable -- that's not a God who is relational. It is a God that gets to declare or judge when he gets pissed off. But there is no basis for love and relationships if God is a fundamentally self-centered being.
William P. Young
Each relationship between two persons is absolutely unique. That is why you cannot love two people the same. It simply is not possible. You love each person differently because of who they are and the uniqueness that they draw out of you.
William P. Young
Nothing in life is ritual.
William P. Young
Through . . . lies you try to run your life and manipulate others. . . . Lies become an inhibitor in your relationship . . . .
William P. Young
Lies are a little fortress inside them you can feel safe & powerful.
William P. Young
Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person's throat.
William P. Young
I don't see the Father pouring out his wrath on the Son. I see the human race pouring out their wrath on the Son. So I see the only hope for the entire cosmos is what the Son chooses to accept, crawling upon the instrument of our greatest wrath. He met us at the deepest, darkest place.
William P. Young
I suppose that since most of our hurts come through relationships so will our healing, and I know that grace rarely makes sense for those looking in from the outside.
William P. Young
Image and appearance tell you little. The inside is bigger than the outside when you have the eyes to see.
William P. Young
Look at us human beings: it's so much easier to be right than to love.
William P. Young
