Today’s daily dose of emuna is dedicated l’iluy nishmat Shaindel bat Shmuel Isaac z’l. May her neshama bask in the Divine radiance among all of the righteous souls who have departed from this world, Amen.
Giving is a beautiful thing… so is receiving… but giving is receiving. When we give of ourselves to another we are the beneficiary of that which we gave. Think of it as an investment in which we anticipate to get back that which we invested and a dividend in return. Every time we give of ourselves to someone, something, somewhere, etc. we are investing in ourselves. Not only because HaKadosh Baruch Hu repays for those acts of giving but because many times the recipient himself will want to repay for the good bestowed upon him.
Each act of giving is an act of love and therefore has in it the potential to increase the love between giver and receiver. It reaches the point where after many times of giving, loving and giving are weaved into one and become one and the same.
Taking this thought to the level of love between Klal Yisrael and Hashem, it is everyone’s wish to enter this infinite cycle of giving to Borei Olam and being bound to Him through our giving and feeling His love to us with no end. For the truth is that the more that we sacrifice and give of ourselves to our Tatte’, the more we will be the ultimate receivers for all things good.
