SF - The Power to Bless

The Power to Bless

"And you will be a blessing" (Bereishis 12:2). The meaning of this verse is that HaShem entrusted the power of blessing other people to Avraham.  Previously, HaShem blessed whomever He chose, but from now on Avraham will have the merit to bless whomever he so wishes. Why did HaShem transfer the power of blessing to a human being? Avraham Avinu mastered the trait of loving-kindness; he held love for every person, and constantly performed acts of kindness to all of HaShem's creations. Therefore, HaShem saw it was appropriate for Avraham, who loved all mankind, to be the source of blessings.

Lesson: The love, care, and joy that we hold for others, increases the power of our blessings that we evoke on their behalf .

Visualization: Envision love and goodness for all people flowing from your heart. In turn, may the "blessings of Avraham" bring unbounded goodness upon us and all of "Klal Yisrael."
