Shine Like the Golden Sunlight King David revealed, "The world was created with kindness" (Tehillim 89). All the creations of HaShem pulsate with kindness. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the light and warmth of the sun flow from HaShem's kindness. Likewise, regarding man the Torah says, "You shall walk in His ways." Meaning, "Just as He is merciful and kind, you should be merciful and kind." Just as the kindness of HaShem is unlimited and never-ending, so too, man continuously bestows goodness on all the creations. Lesson: Awareness of the endless, unbounded love of HaShem, is the greatest inspiration for us to walk in His ways -- and to fill our lives with kindness, compassion, and love. Visualization: Envision a glorious sunrise. See the golden sunlight illuminate the earth. Sense the warmth and light that you enjoy from the sparkling sun. Let HaShem's kindness that is flowing through the sun awaken your heart with kindness -- and beam your warmth and light to all of HaShem's creations.
