More quotes by William P. Young
If a rainbow makes a sound, or a flower as it grows, that was the sound of her laughter.
William P. Young
The God of Evangelical Christianity is a Monster.
William P. Young
Love is much stronger than your fault could ever be.
William P. Young
You cannot heal yourself. You cannot heal anybody else. We're designed to do this in community because we were created inside community for community by community.
William P. Young
Jesus is not the 'founder of Christianity.
William P. Young
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.
William P. Young
So no, I’m not too big on religion...and not very fond of politics or economics either...And why should I be? They are the man-created trinity of terrors that ravages the earth and deceives those I care about. What mental turmoil and anxiety does any human face that is not related to one of those three?
William P. Young
The enemy of a writer is not controversy but obscurity.
William P. Young
You are a beautiful mess, you are the melody.
William P. Young
Forgiveness does not create a relationship. Unless people speak the truth about what they have done and change their mind and behavior, a relationship of trust is not possible. When you forgive someone you certainly release them from judgment, but without true change, no real relationship can be established.
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
Living unloved is like clipping a bird's wings and removing its ability to fly.
William P. Young
It is impossible for you to take power over the future because it isn't even real...
William P. Young
Emotions are the colors of the soul.
William P. Young
Pain has a way of clipping our wings and keeping us from being able to fly... And if left unresolved you can almost forget that you were ever created to fly in the first place.
William P. Young
Truth will set you free. And Truth has a name.
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
Today's minor irritations may become tomorrow's treasured memories. We often don't know what we are missing, until it's missing.
William P. Young
Women, in general, will find it difficult to turn from a man and stop demanding that he meets their needs, provides security, and protects their identity, and return to me. Men, in general, find it very hard to turn from the works of their hands, their own quests for power and security and significance, and turn to me.
William P. Young
Love is not the limitation love is the flying.
William P. Young
