Purpose Of The Dark Night
- The 'dark night' is a common spiritual season where felt presence of God is removed to deepen intimacy.
- This removal purges attachments so faith matures beyond feelings and ideas.
Feelings Are Messengers
- Feelings of God's presence are messengers, not God itself.
- God removes feelings to teach us to walk by faith instead of sensation.
Refining Belief Into Trust
- The dark night refines ideas about God as well as feelings.
- The aim is trust in God himself, not merely correct doctrine or comforting sensations.
