Solitude is the furnace for transformation.
- Henry Nouwen
Solitude is a beautiful thing. It is in solitude that one must reckon with who they are. This term solitude is used loosely, however. We are never really alone, God's there. It is our choice whether we recognize His existence or make our time of solitude a time to commune with Him. If we are intentional, if we long for His double-edged sword to cut into our soul, untangling the thorns and allowing the flowers to bloom, the transformation will be glorious. The furnace will have left us refined, and utterly transformed.
