“Mackenzie, this world is full of tears, but if you remember I proimsed that it would be Me who would wipe them from your eyes.”
― William P. Young

“It is so easy to get sucked into the if-only game, and playing it is a short and slippery slide into despair.”
― William Paul Young, The Shack: Where Tragedy Confronts Eternity

“The karmic philosophy appeals to me on a metaphorical level because even in ones lifetime it's obvious how often we must repeat our same mistakes, banging our heads against the same ole addictions and compulsions, generating the same old miserable and often catastrophic consequences, until we can finally stop and fix it. This is the supreme lesson of karma ( and also of western psychology, by the way)- take care of the problem now, or else you'll just have to suffer again later when you screw everything up the next time. And that repetition of suffering-that's hell. Moving out of that endless repetition to a new level of understanding-there's where you'll find heaven.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert

“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.”
― William P. Young, The Shack
