“the particular loneliness”–> the gateway to something new

I've been reflecting upon the particular loneliness that comes from a loveless marriage…...
Henri Nouwen talks about loneliness, pain, brokenness, suffering and I agree with him that precisely in the depth of the aching IS---> the gateway right into the very embrace of the ONE who loves me.


Quoted from Henri Nouwen tape Who are we? Exploring our Christian Identity

“Befriend your loneliness, pick up your cross ... Precisely where we are painful, precisely where we are suffering there is the gateway that leads us to something new...if we are willing to embrace our brokenness we will discover that in the midst of all this pain there is joy... “
