Amen Brother. Your last line is it. God is continually calling us out of this world and into the next. He teaches detachment from this world when He withdraws. We cannot reach heaven still attached to this world and so these purifications are necessary.
This is an excellent reflection, and exactly what I needed to answer a question from a reader that just arrived in my inbox. Thank you, Andrew!
Its so great when things like that happen. God's providence rules all things. I hope it is good for your reader.
Simple and profound. The desert is where God takes me when He wants me for Himself; where there is no one to distract me.
Amen.
