"When we continually 'see' the work
of God in our life, there is less need for faith. When the perception of
blessing or presence is removed, there is an opportunity to exercise faith on a
deeper and purer level, which is very pleasing to God and unites us in a deep
way with Him, even when His closeness to us might not be felt. John of the
Cross tells us that it is this ever-increasing purification that most directly
and immediately unites us to God. The act of deep trust and abandonment and
fidelity that faith entails is very pleasing to God and brings us very close to
Him."
— Ralph Martin The Fulfillment of All Desire, p.
170-71
