Wm. Paul Young quotes:

Forgiveness is not about forgetting, Mack. It is about letting go of another person's throat.

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.

Relationships are never about power, and one way to avoid the will to power is to choose to limit oneself- to serve.

Forgiveness in no way requires that you trust the one you forgive.

Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person's throat.

Trust is the fruit of a relationship in which you know you are loved.

Submission is not about authority and it is not obedience; it is all about relationships of love and respect.

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.

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.

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

Transformation without work and pain, without suffering, without a sense of loss is just an illusion of true change.

So many believe that it is love that grows, but it is the knowing that grows and love simply expands to contain it.

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.

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 its absence

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.

Women, in general, will find it difficult to turn from a man and stop demanding that he meets their needs, provides security, and protects their identity, and return to me. Men, in general, find it very hard to turn from the works of their hands, their own quests for power and security and significance, and turn to me.

You need boundaries...even in our material creations, boundaries mark the most beautiful of places, between the ocean and the shore, between the mountains and the plains, where the canyon meets the river."

I have moments that aren't too bad, but there's always something I'm struggling with, or feeling guilty about. I just figured I needed to try harder, but I find it difficult to sustain that motivation."

Life takes a bit of time and a lot of relationship.

I have moments that aren't too bad, but there's always something I'm struggling with, or feeling guilty about. I just figured I needed to try harder, but I find it difficult to sustain that motivation.

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.

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