More quotes by William P. Young
It wasn't long ago I was cleaning toilets and now I have protestors. How cool is this?
William P. Young
But, enough of that for now. Let’s get lost again in the starry night.
William P. Young
I have moments that aren't too bad, but there's always something I'm struggling with, or feeling guilty about. I just figured I needed to try harder, but I find it difficult to sustain that motivation.
William P. Young
I make a distinction between true and real. I think that the story is true, it’s just not real. That’s what a parable is. It takes things that we all know are real, and it takes life events that actually happens, and it weaves them into a fiction that allows truth to actually be embedded.
William P. Young
Why would the God of the universe want to be submitted to me?' Because we want you to join us in our circle of relationship. I don't want slaves to my will I want brothers and sisters who will share life with me.
William P. Young
You are the root, and only God knows that the flower will be.
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 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
I'm trying to get far away from [picturing God as] Gandalf or Santa Claus.
William P. Young
Part of my journey is to say that the soul of the human being must be a massively intricate, wonderful creation that God has a respect for in ways that we do not and that leaves a huge amount of space to go explore.
William P. Young
Healing is as incremental and mysterious as the damage ... what took time, takes time.
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 'will to power and independence' has become so ubiquitous that it is now considered normal.
William P. Young
I don't see the Father pouring out his wrath on the Son. I see the human race pouring out their wrath on the Son. So I see the only hope for the entire cosmos is what the Son chooses to accept, crawling upon the instrument of our greatest wrath. He met us at the deepest, darkest place.
William P. Young
mistakes are a part of life, and Papa works her purpose in them too.
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
True love never forces.
William P. Young
...if anything matters then everything matters. Because you are important, everything you do is important. Every time you forgive, the universe changes every time you reach out and touch a heart or a life, the world changes with every kindness and service, seen or unseen, my purposes are accomplished and nothing will be the same again.
William P. Young
Life takes a bit of time and a lot of relationship.
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
