You are a beautiful mess, you are the melody.

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.

We've created a theology in the West of a God who is fundamentally self-centered. The imagery of God as distant, unapproachable, unreachable -- that's not a God who is relational. It is a God that gets to declare or judge when he gets pissed off. But there is no basis for love and relationships if God is a fundamentally self-centered being.

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.

The enemy of a writer is not controversy but obscurity.

Today's minor irritations may become tomorrow's treasured memories. We often don't know what we are missing, until it's missing.

Nothing in life is ritual.

Submission is not about authority and it is not obedience it is all about relationships of love and respect.
William P. Young
Image
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.

It is so easy to get sucked into the if-only game, and playing it is a short and slippery slide into despair.

Trust is the fruit of a relationship in which you know you are loved.
