More quotes by William P. Young

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

Grace doesn't depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colors.
William P. Young
I give you an ability to respond and your response is to be free to love and serve in every situation, and therefore each moment is different and unique and wonderful.
William P. Young
Sin is its own punishment, devouring you from the inside.
William P. Young
The world in many ways would be a much calmer and gentler place if women ruled. There would have been fewer children sacrificed to the gods of greed and power.
William P. Young
I'm not an actual author but an accidental one.
William P. Young
Submission is not about authority and it is not obedience it is all about relationships of love and respect.
William P. Young
Perhaps there is supranatural: reason beyond the normal definitions of fact or data-based logic something that only makes sense if you can see a bigger picture of reality. Maybe that is where faith fits in.
William P. Young
Anger is the right response to something that is so wrong. But don't let the anger and pain and loss you feel prevent you from forgiving him and removing your hands from around his neck.
William P. Young
