C.S Lewis
The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell...
We shall draw nearer to God, not by trying to avoid the sufferings inherent in all loves, but by accepting them and offering them to Him; throwing away all defensive armour. If our hearts need to be broken, and if He chooses this as the way in which they should break, so be it.
It's just easier said than done, is all.
Sometimes, God breaks us down to nothing so that he can rebuild us into something spectacular.
