We'll Miss The Darkness - Spirituality

We'll Miss The Darkness

I know it sounds strange. But one day, in the Messianic Era, weโ€™ll look back at exile and yearn for a part of it.

๐—›๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒโ€™๐˜€ ๐˜„๐—ต๐˜†:

In exile, finding G-d often feels like looking for light in a pitch-black forest.

Itโ€™s uncertain.

Itโ€™s not easy.

the awe is unlike anything else.

Most people want:

โ†’ A clear sense of G-dโ€™s presence.

โ†’ No more confusion or spiritual struggle.

โ†’ Constant light and clarity.

And yes, when Moshiach comes, weโ€™ll have all that.

Butโ€ฆ

One day, weโ€™ll only be able to remember it. And miss it.

So for now, donโ€™t just pray for the darkness to end.

Find the awe in it while you can.

โ€œSome Parts of G-d can only be felt in the dark.โ€
