The Transference of Hardship to Joy
After Yisro heard about the miraculous Exodus he trekked into the desert to meet Klal Yisrael. Why did he endanger his life in the blazing desert to connect with Klal Yisrael? Yisro conceptualized a great lesson from the Exodus. He noticed that the terrible Egyptian bondage, ended in the greatest wonders and miracles in history. Therefore, he understood that HaShem transforms all troubles to goodness. He was confident that HaShem would transform the barren desert into Gan Eden for Klal Yisrael. So he traveled to them so that he could share in their joy and light.
Lesson: Never despair of any hardship because HaShem will ultimately transform it to good.
Viualization: Envision Yisro journeying into the scorching desert with faith that he will come to no harm and find wonderful goodness. See Moshe Rabenu welcome Yisro with a kiss and tell over the wonders and kindness that HaShem did for Klal Yisrael. See Yisro discover Gan Eden. Apply Yisro's understanding of transference to your life and experience closeness to HaShem, enlightenment, and joy. (Based on the commentary of the Chosom Sofer to the Torah)
