| "The soul that blesses will be satiated, and the person that sustains others will be satisfied" (Mishlei 11:25). A person with a good heart that truly loves his fellow man, blesses every person and wants only good to come their way. He holds no jealousy for them, whatsoever. His constant blessings and good wishes that he expresses to all of his companions, fills them with happiness and inner contentment. In turn, he also attains a joyous heart - "The soul that blesses will be satiated." In the same vein, a person that welcomes guests and provides them with good meals, will receive HaShem's blessing to always feel satisfied. It goes without saying, that he will also be blessed with wealth, which is the just reward for giving tzedakah.
A person who wants good for others and always blesses them, and bestows loving kindness upon them, will be filled with great inner happiness and never lack for anything.
Take a few minutes each day to strengthen your love for your fellow man. Always say a good word to others and give blessings to everybody. Flow with kindness and invite many guests to your home. Enjoy the fruits of happiness that come in the wake of blessing and showing kindness to others. (Based on the commentary of the Vilna Gaon)
HaShem's great compassion is revealed through the creation of the embryo in the mother's womb. Miraculously, out of one drop, a child is formed with a holy soul. This is like a person who gives his friend a silver basket to watch. When he comes to retrieve the basket, his friend gives him a golden basket in its stead. Surely he will express heartfelt thanks to his friend!
The miracle of our existence is one of the greatest miracles of HaShem. We owe great thanks to HaShem for creating us into a living, intelligent human being.
Shabbos is the time to contemplate and thank HaShem for miraculously and mercifully creating you. (Based on the commentary of Yalkut Meom Loaz to Parshas Tazriya) |
