When Facing the Night is a quote I read in an important book last year, and I’m pondering it with you today.
For Lent 2025, I’ll be writing new blog posts every day. I’m writing for just five unedited minutes on a quote of the day to deepen our faith in this Lenten season.
Day 4 of Lent 2025- March 8
I read this quote in Alicia Britt Chole’s book, The Night is Normal. It’s one of my favorite books that I read in 2024, out of over 100 books. It helped me greatly through my dark night of the soul.
The full quote is this: “So, when facing the night, my friend, do not bail. Bloom.” The whole premise of the book is to commit and persist in our faith during dark seasons. Alicia says that certain faith muscles only develop in hard seasons. She also says that when hope feels out of reach for us, like it has for me many times in the past three years, it’s more important to persist in our faith. I wrote about this in another recent post, which you can read HERE.
This book is a comforting helper for dark seasons in your faith. It will not only affirm your pain, but direct you toward the light with true wisdom, not empty platitudes. I highly recommend you get a copy for yourself HERE.
Join me again tomorrow for another reflection on a different quote.
