While you will be subjected to this storm in your heart, Jesus will continue to live in the bark of your soul and there, although sleeping, he will not stop loving you and will help you to fight against the storm. Don’t worry when you see a drought take a firm hold in your heart. Remain convinced that this is evidence of your deep love for Jesus, since it is by love that you put up with this suffering while ardently longing for his coming.
–Marcel Nguyễn Tân Văn (1928–1959)
