Sometimes honesty can be incredibly messy

You cannot heal yourself. You cannot heal anybody else. We're designed to do this in community because we were created inside community for community by community.

You... 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.

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

Because you continue to inhabit and believe your metaphors, you cannot see what is true.

Jesus was always challenging the dogma of religion. So, you know, it's not like I'm out there by myself.

There is always risk in relationships, but bottom line? The world has no meaning apart from relationships. Some are just messier than others, some are seasonal, others are difficult, and a few are easy, but every one of them is important.
