“There is a deep peace that grows out of illness and
loneliness and a sense of failure. God cannot get close when everything is
delightful. He seems to need these darker hours, these empty-hearted hours, to
mean the most to people.”—Pioneer American linguist and missionary Frank
Laubach (1884-1970), Feb. 6, 1931 letter, in Letters by a Modern Mystic,
edited by Gina Brandon and Karen Friesen (originally published 1937, new
edition 2007)
