More quotes by William P. Young
Paradigms power perceptions, perceptions power emotions.
William P. Young

...if anything matters then everything matters. Because you are important, everything you do is important. Every time you forgive, the universe changes every time you reach out and touch a heart or a life, the world changes with every kindness and service, seen or unseen, my purposes are accomplished and nothing will be the same again.
William P. Young

William P. Young
The arrival of the unforeseen reveals the depths of one's heart.
William P. Young
I think people are tired of religion and how it divides and damages people. You can name it whatever you want, Islam or Christianity, but if you have a system in which God is distant and angry all the time, and you're trying to please him through the right disciplines, it isn't going to work for everyone.
William P. Young
And when you learn, over the course of your life, that it's not about pleasing God, it's about learning how to trust God. That's a huge watershed, because trust is a whole different ballgame than appeasement or pleasing.
William P. Young
Jesus? he whispered as his voice choked I feel so lost A hand reached out and squeezed his, and didn't let go. I know Mack. But it's not true. I am with you and I'm not lost. I'm sorry it feels that way, but hear me clearly. You are not lost.
William P. Young
The 'will to power and independence' has become so ubiquitous that it is now considered normal.
William P. Young
Don't ever discount the wonder of your tears. They can be healing waters and a stream of joy. Sometimes they are the best words the heart can speak.
William P. Young
