God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, 'I love you.'

I'm not an analyzer. I've got a son that analyzes everything and everybody. But I don't analyze people.
Interpretation
What this quote means
The quote suggests a distinction between two approaches to understanding people; one is analytical while the other is more experiential or intuitive.
In this quote, Billy Graham expresses his perspective on how he engages with others. He indicates that while he has a son who tends to analyze and scrutinize people deeply, he himself chooses not to approach relationships in that analytical manner. This implies a preference for direct interaction and an appreciation for the complexities of human connections without overthinking them. Graham champions a more straightforward, empathetic engagement with others rather than dissecting their behaviors and motives.
