What Milestones Have You Met in Your Spiritual Development?
Our spiritual lives are divided into four periods. The Creator’s enjoyment, which lies in delighting His creatures, depends on how much we can perceive and discern. It also is affected by how much we can discern Him as the giver of all goodness. Only in this case does He receive pleasure from us. This is much like a parent who plays with his or her beloved child and enjoys the child’s attitude toward him or her. The parent is delighted that the child recognizes the parent as a loving and strong parent who only awaits the child’s requests and is ready to grant them.
