| The Inherent Goodness of Man
Every human being has a spiritual purpose to fulfill in his lifetime on earth. Our mission is essentially to rectify our character traits and fill our hearts with pure goodness. Even more, to act with love and compassion to all of HaShem's creations, and to bring to life the holy Image of G-d, which is our true essence. Sometimes, we might feel that we just are incapable of reaching such a high goal. However, the Torah assures us that the Divine attributes of kindness and mercy are permanently etched into the nature of our very souls.
Lesson: Since we are created in HaShem's image, it is absolutely certain that we can always attain the mastery of ourselves.
App: Be encouraged by remembering that your true essence is immutably good. Keep in mind the true purpose of your existence is to to kind and compassionate - and improve yourself a little more day by day. (Based on Tomer Devorah and the commentary Divrei Moshe) |
