Bare heights of loneliness, deep valleys of depression, a wilderness whose burning winds sweep over glowing sand, what are they to Him? Even there He can refresh us; even there He can renew us.
—Amy Carmichael
One road leads home and a thousand roads lead into the wilderness. – C.S. Lewis
They who come to Christ, do not only come to a resting place after they have been wandering in a wilderness, but they come to a banqueting-house where they may rest, and where they may feast.
—Jonathan Edwards
