More quotes by 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 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
It is so easy to get sucked into the if-only game, and playing it is a short and slippery slide into despair.
William P. Young
Mackenzie, you cannot produce trust, just as you cannot 'do' humility. It either is or is not. Trust is the fruit of a relationship in which you know you are loved. Because you do not know that I love you, you cannot trust me.
William P. Young
You are free to love without an agenda
William P. Young
Through . . . lies you try to run your life and manipulate others. . . . Lies become an inhibitor in your relationship . . . .
William P. Young
City and country -- each has its own beauty and its own pain. Some of the smallness of small towns -- cattiness, everybody knowing everybody's business -- that can be challenging. And cities can be challenging, because no one can connect except electronically.
William P. Young
Even though you can't finally grasp me, guess what? I still want to be known.
William P. Young
Emotions are the colors of the soul.

In some sense every parent does love their children. But some parents are too broken to love them well& others are barely able to love them at all.
William P. Young
Forgiveness in no way requires that you trust the one you forgive.
William P. Young
The arrival of the unforeseen reveals the depths of one's heart.
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
Sometimes honesty can be incredibly messy
William P. Young
And the Law that once contained impossible demands -- Thou Shalt Not... -- actually becomes a promise we fulfill in you.
William P. Young
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.
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
But, enough of that for now. Let’s get lost again in the starry night.
William P. Young
The ability to choose is at the essential core of our grandeur. Even evil exists because God respects our ability to choose.

Love always leaves a significant mark.
