“Relationships are never about power, and one way to avoid the will to power is to choose to limit oneself- to serve.”
“Love and relationship. All love and relationship is possible for you only because it already exits within me, within God myself. Love is not the limitation; love is the flying. I am love.”
“Submission is not about authority and it is not obedience; it is all about relationships of love and respect.”
“It is not the nature of love to force a relationship, but it is the nature of love to open the way.”
“The 'will to power and independence' has become so ubiquitous that it is now considered normal.”
“Forgiveness does not create a relationship. Unless people speak the truth about what they have done and change their mind and behavior, a relationship of trust is not possible. When you forgive someone you certainly release them from judgment, but without true change, no real relationship can be established.”
“It (trying to keep the law) grants you the power to judge others and feel superior to them. You believe you are living to a higher standard than those you judge. Enforcing rules, especially in its more subtle expressions like responsibility and expectation, is a vain attempt to create certainty out of uncertainty. And contrary to what you might think, I have a great fondness for uncertainty. Rules cannot bring freedom; they only have the power to accuse.”
