William P Young Quotes

Submission is not about authority and it is not obedience; it is all about relationships of love and respect Picture Quote #1

The 'will to power and independence' has become so ubiquitous that it is now considered normal Picture Quote #1

Let me say for now that we knew once the Creation was broken, true fathering would be much more lacking than mothering. Don't misunderstand me, both are needed - but an emphasis on fathering is necessary because of the enormity of it's absence Picture Quote #1

Relationships are never about power, and one way to avoid the will to power is to choose to limit oneself to serve Picture Quote #1

Perhaps there is supranatural: reason beyond the normal definitions of fact or data-based logic; something that only makes sense if you can see a bigger picture of reality. Maybe that is where faith fits in Picture Quote #1

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? Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

In seminary he had been taught that God had completely stopped any overt communication with moderns, preferring to have them only listen to and follow sacred Scripture, properly interpreted, of course. God's voice had been reduced to paper, and even that paper had to be moderated and deciphered by the proper authorities and intellects. It seemed that direct communication with God was something exclusively for the ancients and uncivilized, while educated Westerner's access to God was mediated and controlled by the intelligentsia. Nobody wanted God in a box, just in a book Picture Quote #1

It (trying to keep the law) grants you the power to judge others and feel superior to them. You believe you are living to a higher standard than those you judge. Enforcing rules, especially in it's more subtle expressions like responsibility and expectation, is a vain attempt to create certainly out of uncertainty. And contrary to what you might think, I have a great fondness for uncertainty. Rules cannot bring freedom; they only have the power to accuse Picture Quote #1

Pain has a way of clipping our wings and keeping us from being able to fly Picture Quote #1

Each relationship between two persons is absolutely unique. That is why you cannot love two people the same. It simply is not possible. You love each person differently because of who they are and the uniqueness that they draw out of you Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Just because I work incredible good out of unspeakable tragedies doesn't mean I orchestrate the tragedies. Don't ever assume that my using something means I caused it or that I need it to accomplish my purposes. That will only lead you to false notions about me. Grace doesn't depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colors Picture Quote #1

He was sick of God and God's religion, sick of all the little religious social clubs that didn't seem to make any real difference or affect any real changes Picture Quote #1

When we three spoke ourselves into human existences the Son of God, we became fully human. We also chose to embrace all the limitation that this entailed. Even though we have always been present in this created universe, we now became flesh and blood. It would be like this bird (a jay), whose nature it is to fly, choosing to only walk and remain grounded. He doesn't stop being a bird, but it does alter his experience of life significantly Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I don't need to punish people for sin. Sin is it's own punishment, devouring you from the inside. It's not my purpose to punish it; it's my joy to cure it Picture Quote #1

Authority, as you usually think of it, is merely the excuse the strong use to make others conform to what they want Picture Quote #1

So many believe that it is love that grows, but it is the knowing that grows and love simply expands to contain it Picture Quote #1

When I live in you, then together we can live through everything that happens to you Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Anger is the right response to something that is so wrong. But don't let the anger and pain and loss you feel prevent you from forgiving him and removing your hands from around his neck Picture Quote #1

I give you an ability to respond and your response is to be free to love and serve in every situation, and therefore each moment is different and unique and wonderful Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Grace doesn't depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colors Picture Quote #1

All I want from you is to trust me with what little you can, and grow in loving people around you with the same love I share with you. It's not your job to change them, or to convince them. You are free to love without an agenda Picture Quote #1

If a rainbow makes a sound, or a flower as it grows, that was the sound of her laughter Picture Quote #1

You cannot produce trust just like you cannot 'do' humility. It either is or is not Picture Quote #1
