William P. Young quotes about
significant mark love-always
Love always leaves a significant mark.
heart thinking belief
Evangelicals have like millions of rules. And it's just, uh, we have sort of an accepted, rationalism within which we frame religion. And we think that belief, intellectually, is of the same as relationship. And in our Western family conversation, that's become an incredible impediment toward actual wholeness, where the heart and the head are aligned and relationship -- with not just God but with each other.
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.
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.
mistake purpose papa
mistakes are a part of life, and Papa works her purpose in them too.
honesty sometimes shack
Sometimes honesty can be incredibly messy
perception emotion paradigm
Paradigms power perceptions, perceptions power emotions.
powerful lying safe
Lies are a little fortress; inside them you can feel safe & powerful.
dream jesus father
For me, everything is about Jesus and Father and the Holy Spirit, and relationships, and life is an adventure of faith lived one day at a time. Any aspirations, visions and dreams died a long time ago and I have absolutely no interest in resurrecting them (they would stink by now anyway). I have finally figured out that I have nothing to lose by living a life of faith. I know more joy every minute of every day than seems appropriate, but I love the wastefulness of my Father's grace and presence. For me, everything in my life that matters, is perfect!
love unique two
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.
together-we-can together happens
when I live in you, then together we can live through everything that happens to you.
