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.
William Paul YoungMackenzie, dunia ini penuh air mata, tetapi kau ingat, Aku berjanji bahwa Akulah yang akan menghapusnya dari matamu.
William Paul YoungYou... were created to be loved. So for you to live as if you were unloved is a limitation, not the other way around... Living unloved is like clipping a bird's wing and removing its ability to fly... A bird is not defined by being grounded but by his ability to fly. Remember this, humans are defined not by their limitations, but by the intentions I have for them; not by what they seem to be, but by everything it means to be created in my image. Love is NOT the limitation; love is the flying. I AM love.
William Paul YoungA nossa Terra é como uma criança que cresceu sem pais, sem ter quem a guie e oriente (...) Houve quem tentasse ajudá-la, mas a maioria procurou simplesmente usá-la. Os seres humanos, que receberam a tarefa de guiar o mundo com amor, em vez disso, saquearam-no sem qualquer consideração para além das necessidades imediatas. E pensaram pouco nos próprios filhos, que vão herdar a sua falta de amor. Por isso usam e abusam da Terra e, quando ela estremece ou reage ofegante, ofendem-se e erguem os punhos contra Deus.
William Paul YoungMuitos acreditam que é o amor que cresce, enquanto o amor simplesmente se expande para o conter. O amor é apenas a pele do conhecimento.
William Paul YoungIf anything matters, then everything matters.
William Paul YoungOr, if you want to go just a wee bit deeper, we could talk about the nature of freedom itself. Does freedom mean that you are allowed to do whatever you want to do? Or we could talk about all the limiting influences in your life that actively work against your freedom. Your family genetic heritage, your specific DNA, your metabolic uniqueness, the quantum stuff that is going on at a subatomic level where only I am the always-present observer. Or the intrusion of your soul's sickness that inhibits and binds you, or the social influences around you, or the habits that have created synaptic bonds and pathways in your brain. And then there's advertising, propaganda, and paradigms. Inside that confluences of multifaceted inhibitors," she sighed, "what is freedom really?
William Paul YoungI am what some would say 'holy, and wholly other than you.' The problem is that many folks try to grasp some sense of who I am by taking the best version of themselves, projecting that to the nth degree, factoring in all the goodness they can perceive, which often isn't much, and then call that God. And while it may seem like a noble effort, the truth is that it falls pitifully short of who I really am. I'm not merely the best version of you that you can think of. I am far more than that, above and beyond all that you can ask or think.

If you are able to judge God so easily, you certainly can judge the world. You must choose two of your children to spend eternity in God's new heavens and new earth....And you must choose three of your children to spend eternity in hell.....
I am only asking you to do something that you believe God does. He knows every person ever conceived, and he knows them so much more deeply and clearly than you will ever know your own children...You believe he will condemn most to an eternity of torment, away from his presence and apart from his love."
Mack: "I don't want to be the judge...
I can't do this."
You suppose then that God does this so easily, but you cannot?"
This couldn't be real. How could God ask him to choose among his own children? Even if Katie or Josh, or Jon or Tyler committed some heinous crime, he still wouldn't do it. He couldn't! For him, it wasn't about their performance; it was about his love for them.
Mack: "I can't, I can't....Could I go instead?....I'll go in their place...Could I do that?" He fell at her feet crying and begging now. "Please let me go for my children..I am begging you. Please...Please..."
-"Now you sound like Jesus.....That is how Jesus loves.
Forgiveness is first for you, the forgiver...to release you from something that will eat you alive; that will destroy your joy and your ability to love fully and openly. Do you think this man cares about the pain and torment you have gone through? If anything, he feeds on that knowledge. Don't you want to cut that off? And in doing so, you'll release him from a burden that he carries whether he knows it or not--acknowledges it or not.
