Amy CarmichaelBare heights of loneliness...a wilderness whose burning winds sweep over glowing sands, what are they to HIM? Even there He can refresh us, even there He can renew us.
About This Quote
When our hearts are empty, when our spirits are crushed, when all around us is crashing down in ruins, what are we to do? We are so lost and alone that even the ground beneath us has stopped giving us support. There is no one there to listen to us or see us. We can’t even feel the ground beneath us anymore. Then it happens, something happens that gives us hope once again; we begin to breathe.
The burning winds of loneliness begin to stir within our souls, warming us up and forcing our spirits back into life. The wilderness has become a place of new beginnings. We can see the light of day once again and the sun’s warmth fills our hearts with hope once more.
