Additional quotes by Madeleine L'Engle
Just because we don't understand doesn't mean that the explanation doesn't exist.
I will have nothing to do with a God who cares only occasionally. I need a God who is with us always, everywhere, in the deepest depths as well as the highest heights. It is when things go wrong, when good things do not happen, when our prayers seem to have been lost, that God is most present. We do not need the sheltering wings when things go smoothly. We are closest to God in the darkness, stumbling along blindly.
Stories make us more alive, more human, more courageous, more loving.
