Pure.. removing the impurities
Step by step.. God only reveal bit by bit, only how much we can handle
Changed by God's love
Be as close to God as possible
Coming in union with God is our goal
Dark night is caused by God to whine us away from the world
To stop us from eating poison (sins), God gave ice cream (blessings).. then God gives us proper food to make us stronger
One night, God takes away the "ice cream".. God does not want us to focus on the blessings and suddenly things tt we like which could not be sinful is taken away from us
God takes away cos it's stopping us from the "pure love"
Can we still love God just Him without His blessings
When nothing make sense
Can we still love God even if we feel nothing?
Like Job, he loses his family, career, struck with disease in one day even he didn't sin...
Job is going through the dark night of senses
We are to love God and His will and not the consolation
God will have to darken the worldly pleasure we have
Detaching will be painful, hard and challenging
God withdrew Himself, making Himself so quiet, make His presence very very faint
Can we still love God even if we feel abondoned
Jesus felt abondoned...He still loves His Father enough to do God's will
Only those we are able to handle, God will do this divine "surgery"
Dark moments is not dark nights
Suffering is not dark nights
We are experiencing dark night when
We desire for God nv goes away
There is a grace and perseverance
We must be prepared tt we are willing to let go of things even if they are not bad or sinful
We are too attached to things in the world..
Don't be afraid of suffering.. suffering lead is to union
There is so much hope when we are suffering.. God can use them and lead us further
he needed nothing but God alone
