“When you chose independence over relationship, you became a danger to one another. Others became objects to be manipulated or managed for your own happiness.”
― William Paul Young, The Shack: Where Tragedy Confronts Eternity

“Scripture never looks down on the sufferer, it never mocks his pain, it never turns a deaf ear to his cries, and it never condemns him for his struggle. It presents to the sufferer a God who understands, who cares, who invites us to come to him for help, and who promises one day to end all suffering of any kind once and forever. Because of this, the Bible, while being dramatically honest about suffering, is at the same time gloriously hopeful.”
― Paul David Tripp, Suffering: Gospel Hope When Life Doesn't Make Sense

“Most emotions are the responses to perception, what you think is true about a given situation. If your perception is false, then your emotional response to it will be false too. So check the truthfulness of your paradigms, what you believe.”
― William Paul Young, The Shack: Where Tragedy Confronts Eternity

“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.”
― Wm. Paul Young, The Shack
