I don't just want a piece of you and a piece of your life. Even if you were able, which you are not, to give me the biggest piece, that is not what I want. I want all of you and all of every part of you and your day.

If you and I are friends, there is an expectancy that exists within our relationship. When we see each other or are apart, there is an expectancy of being together, of laughing and talking. The expectancy has no concrete definition it is alive and dynamic and everything that emerges from our being together is a unique gift shared by no one else.
William P. Young
Relationships are never about power, and one way to avoid the will to power is to choose to limit oneself - to serve.

Life takes a bit of time and a lot of relationship.

I have moments that aren't too bad, but there's always something I'm struggling with, or feeling guilty about. I just figured I needed to try harder, but I find it difficult to sustain that motivation.
William P. Young
Even though you can't finally grasp me, guess what? I still want to be known.
William P. Young
I grew up fundamentalist, evangelical, Protestant. Those are my roots, and they are good roots. But it means the Pharisees are my people. I grew up with an image of God that was not helpful -- largely the face of my father expanded.
William P. Young
The intricacy and the inherent beautiful fragility of the human soul is such that it is uniquely damaged and only God knows how to heal it, and it's going to take time.
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
Emotions are the colors of the soul.
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
I don't need to punish people for sin. Sin is its own punishment, devouring you from the inside. It's not my purpose to punish it it's my joy to cure it.
William P. Young
You are a beautiful mess, you are the melody.
William P. Young
Emotions talked to you before you had words, so listen to them ... they are often more honest than the mind's remarkable ability to self deceive.
