"God perceives the imperfections within us, and because of his love for us, urges us to grow up, his love is not content to leave us in our weakness.. no soul will ever grow deep in the spiritual life unless God works passively in that soul.." - John of the Cross
John writes in his work that the virtues God creates in us is humility, simplicity, contentment, peace, moderation, joy, and strength. Out the virtues mentioned by John, I believe I need joy and strength the most because I am at the point in my life when I feel that my days have no meaning to it, I am just breathing and going through the motions. I need God's strength to overcome slothfulness and his joy to remain intentional in drawing closer to him.
-Kingsley
