How Avraham Changed the World
"And all the families of the land will bless your name." HaShem revealed to Avraham that ultimately fathers will bless their sons, "May you be like Avraham."
The goodness of Avraham warmed up the hearts of mankind. In fact, the very nature of existence transformed. Before Avraham, the world was comprised of different factions of nations and individuals vying for power. Then his kindness inspired the world to became a collection of loving families; "All the families of the land will bless their children."
Lesson: The influence of one person who sincerely loves his fellow man, has the power to stimulate love in the hearts of all mankind.
Visualization: Envision goodness radiating from the heart of Avraham Avinu. See the world change from a place of darkness to a place of light. Instill love in your heart and strive to love each person and all mankind. (Based on the commentary of Rashi to the Torah)
