The Secret of Personal TransformationWhen a person's love of HaShem inspires him to do Teshuvah, the most amazing series of events occur! His love of HaShem and His awareness of HaShem's infinite compassion fills his soul with joy and spiritual elevation. He connects himself to his holy soul and transforms his very being to pure goodness. Just as amazingly, his past negative deeds convert to good deeds! For instance, if he once spoke negatively about his friend, those very words will transform to words of praise and encouragement.
Lesson: Teshuvah performed with love awakens HaShem's merciful forgiveness. Even more, it transforms the person as well as his past deeds, thoughts, and words to holiness!
Visualization: Envision yourself as a tree and see yourself uprooting yourself from your old roots and attaching yourself to new roots of purity, holiness, and goodness. See the holiness of your soul intensify and sanctify your entire personality. See all your past improper deeds, transform to good deeds, light, and Mitzvos!
