Are you on the level of accepting your problems with Joy?

You should accept your troubles willingly and joyfully.

Why does HaShem send you problems?

HaShem loves you, but these problems come to you as
punishments or tests.

Either way it is for your benefit.

King David says:

“All the ways of HaShem are
kindness (chesed) and truth (emes)
for those who guard his covenant and His laws.”
Psalm 25: 10

HaShem brings you these troubles
so you will be forgiven for your sins.

These troubles are not just a challenge for you.

They are so HaShem will give you great reward.

What is true kindness from HaShem?

Both punishments and tests are for your benefit.

If you did something wrong and are punished,
this is called truth.

If you did nothing wrong,
the trouble is coming to you as a
test or reward it is called:

Chesed of HaShem (Kindness from G-d)!

When you think about all the things you
are going through and contemplate them,

You start to realize everything
HaShem does for you is only for your good.

HaShem is bringing you close to Him.

Your reward is guaranteed.

Therefore, my brother (or sister) never set these
principles aside and constantly keep them in mind.

When you are experiencing troubles,
lovingly accept them for the sake of
Shamayim (Heaven):

(1) Trust and comfort in HaShem.
Feel courage in your heart!

(2) Accept your decree from HaShem in a good way.

(3) Even if you are suffering and the experiences are bitter
you will be able to easily deal with them.

“Be strong and take courage in your heart.
You who wait longingly for HaShem.”
Psalm 31: 25

This week’s posts are based on a lecture by Rabbi Moshe Dovid Cohen.

Do you lovingly accept that whatever happens to you is from HaShem and is for your own good?
