Hope in the Wilderness Quotes

“There is a holiness to the waiting, and that holiness is held together by that most familiar of strangers—God, and God’s love. And so it is Love—that one most acquainted with suffering and with grief—who meets us in the place of our deepest loneliness, the ground of our waiting. And if we have enough strength to bend our ear low enough to the ground and hear just one thing whispered to us out of all that Silence, may it be this: what we are waiting for is not Something, but Someone.”
