I know it sounds strange. But one day, in the Messianic Era, weโll look back at exile and yearn for a part of it.
๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒโ๐ ๐๐ต๐:
In exile, finding G-d often feels like looking for light in a pitch-black forest.
Itโs uncertain.
Itโs not easy.

the awe is unlike anything else.
Most people want:
โ A clear sense of G-dโs presence.
โ No more confusion or spiritual struggle.
โ Constant light and clarity.
And yes, when Moshiach comes, weโll have all that.

So for now, donโt just pray for the darkness to end.
Find the awe in it while you can.
โSome Parts of G-d can only be felt in the dark.โ

The blog lists all the difference patterns to study, understanding patterns is how one can develop 'Daas' [felt knowing].
Update:ย As awe, trust, and love deepen, they can allow greater openness and intimacy with the Creator.ย That intimacy can include sadness when you notice how much more of His goodness can be revealed.
