"He changes not because thou changest. Nay, he has an especial tenderness of love towards thee for that thou art in the dark and hast no light, and his heart is glad when thou dost arise and say, "I will go to my Father." For he sees thee through all the gloom through which thou canst not see him. … Then fold the arms of thy faith, and wait in quietness until light goes up in thy darkness."
— George MacDonald
