As soon as I read the section about spiritual wrath, I felt
as if John of the Cross was writing directly to me. I have been going though
this time in my life where I have not been feeling any of the joys or benefits
of being in Christ. At the same time, I have been asking myself what I must be
doing wrong, and not coming to any real conclusion. I am like the infant he wrote
about, throwing a fit for the milk that I once got, all the while not
understanding that God is trying to draw me closer to himself. John says that
is it impatience. I want God to heal me of my hurt right now. I want to be
happy, but what I must need is contentment. I must learn to be satisfied with
where God has taken me, knowing that he indeed has a plan for this “dark night.”
