“Remember that choosing to
stay on the ground is a choice to facilitate a relationship; to honor it. Mackenzie, you do this yourself. 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. You will even lose a competition to accomplish love. It is not about
winning and losing, but about love and respect.”
― William P Young

“Mackenzie, I 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.”
― William P Young
