William P. Young quotes about
children blow giving
Our earth is like a child who has grown up without parents, having no one to guide her... Some have attempted to help her but most have simply tried to use her. Humans, who have been given the task to lovingly steer the world, instead plunder her with no consideration, other than their immediate needs. And they give little thought for their own children who will inherit their lack of love. So they use her and abuse her with little consideration and then when she shudders of blows her breath. They are offended and raise their fist at God.
different trust-in-god pleasing-god
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.
looks easier humans
Look at us human beings: it's so much easier to be right than to love.
goodness i-can saved
Thank goodness there are women in our lives -- that's all I can say. We get saved by the women in our lives.
country pain cities
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.
inspirational pain children
Something in the heart of most human beings simply cannot abide pain inflicted on the innocent, especially children. Even broken men serving in the worst correctional facilities will often first take out their own rage on those who have caused suffering to children. Even in such a world of relative morality, causing harm to a child is still considered absolutely wrong. Period!
relationship believe knowing
So many believe that it is love that grows, but it is the knowing that grows and love simply expands to contain it.
relationship hurt pain
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.
independence normal will-power
The 'will to power and independence' has become so ubiquitous that it is now considered normal.
humility like-you shack
You cannot produce trust just like you cannot 'do' humility. It either is or is not.
children color games
You don't play a game or color a picture with a child to show your superiority. Rather, you choose to limit yourself so as to facilitate and honor that relationship.
ifs objects limitation
You do understand," she continued, "that unless I had an object to love -- or, more accurately, a someone to love -- if I did not have such a relationship within myself, then I would not be capable of love at all? You would have a god who could not love. Or maybe worse, you would have a god who, when he chose, could love only as a limitation of his nature.
relationship jobs people
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.
mistake purpose papa
mistakes are a part of life, and Papa works her purpose in them too.
