A Positive Focus
There is a special palace in Heaven inhabited by angles. Whenever we perform an act of kindness in this world, one of the angels stores the act of kindness in the "palace of love." If the attribute of judgment is awakened, the angels immediately show HaShem the acts of kindness that they have stored away.
Lessson: As soon as HaShem sees that we act kindly towards each other, He has compassion upon us because "He delights in acts of kindness."
App: Emulate HaShem by focusing exclusively on the positive attributes or deeds of others. Even if a person has offended you, have mercy on him by focusing on his good traits -- and move your heart to feel positive feelings towards him.
(Based on Tomer Devorah of Rav Moshe Cordevaro, Chapter One) |
