Love Notes from Heaven: Recognizing Hashem’s Explicit Care
Greater Than The Angels
The Midrash in Bereshit Raba tells us when Hashem divided the Lower Waters from the Upper Waters, the Lower Waters began to cry. They said, “Woe unto us that we are not zocheh to be close to our Creator.” Hashem told them that because they had such a yearning to be close to Him, they were going to be used for two special mitzvot in the future, both performed on the mizbe’ach. The nisuch hamayim on Sukkot and the salt used for every korban.
Every deed we do is so precious. And if a person is going through a difficulty and it is so hard for him to be happy, but yet he continues doing the mitzvot, those mitzvot become infinitely greater and the zechuyot that they produce are endless. We should value every opportunity we have to do any mitzvah in this world.
