You cannot produce trust just like you cannot 'do' humility. It either is or is not.
William P. Young
Image
...humans are not defined by their limitations, but by the intentions that I have for them not by what they seem to be, but by everything it means to be created in my image.

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.

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?

I was raised in a tribal situation, among cannibal people.

Image
I had a very angry father and was disconnected from my family.

Image
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
Image
The Gospel is a declaration of something totally finished apart from our agreement or vote. Inside that declaration is an ongoing and relentless invitation to deepening relationship but any lack of belief or participation on our part has no power to negate the accomplished truth of that declaration.

Image
Responsibilites and expectations are the basis of guilt and shame and judgement, and they provide the essential framework that promotes performance as the basis for identity and value.

Image
Love is much stronger than your fault could ever be.
William P. Young
Image
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.

Image
You are a beautiful mess, you are the melody.
