Yes. Have you been up before the sun lately? It is darkest before the dawn so the new day will have a clean pallette upon which to paint the bright colors of the dawn....
While I would generally say that yes, we (they) do say "it is always darkest before the dawn," I would have to make a strong recommendation that we (they) no longer say this. In my current ministry role I deal with alot of people in their darkest--and to offer them this platitude is borderline obscene--nobody wants to hear this when it's actually darkest. So, while we (they) may say this, I'm saying let's stop.
Feel free to leave a comment or e-mail ideas of things you would like approved as what "they say". We will decide if we say that or not and then post it on this site.
