Healing is as incremental and mysterious as the damage ... what took time, takes time.
William P. Young

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.
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
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.
