More quotes by William P. Young
Healing is as incremental and mysterious as the damage ... what took time, takes time.
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
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
True love never forces.
William P. Young
The 'will to power and independence' has become so ubiquitous that it is now considered normal.
William P. Young
I was raised in a tribal situation, among cannibal people.
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
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
So many believe that it is love that grows, but it is the knowing that grows and love simply expands to contain it.
William P. Young
This life is only the anteroom of a greater reality to come.
William P. Young
Nothing in life is ritual.
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
Lies are a little fortress inside them you can feel safe & powerful.
William P. Young
Even though you can't finally grasp me, guess what? I still want to be known.
William P. Young
It is my desire and intent to trust the multi-layered good purposes of God than in what humans fabricate out of their need and experience. I specifically ask not to know these purposes so that I might remain a child in their unfolding.
William P. Young
The enemy of a writer is not controversy but obscurity.
William P. Young
The God of Evangelical Christianity is a Monster.
William P. Young
I think people are tired of religion and how it divides and damages people. You can name it whatever you want, Islam or Christianity, but if you have a system in which God is distant and angry all the time, and you're trying to please him through the right disciplines, it isn't going to work for everyone.
William P. Young
Mack was getting frustrated. He spoke louder, 'But, don't I have a right to...' To complete a sentence without being interrupted? Not in reality. But as long as you think you do, you will surely get ticked off when someone cuts you off, even if it is God.
William P. Young
I don't want my kids growing up with the image of God that I had -- Plato's white grandfatherly god -- because that god is not a very good father. When it comes down to it, you can't trust him with your kids.
William P. Young
