“Do not despair
if the Beloved pushes you away.
If He pushes you away today
it's only so He can draw you back tomorrow.
If He closes the door on your face,
don't leave, wait—
you'll soon be by His side.
If He bars every passage,
don't lose hope—
He's about to show you
a secret way that nobody knows.”
