No Power to Harm: Internalizing the Truth of Creation
It is possible for a person to have a completely incorrect understanding of how Hashem interacts with us, stemming from misconceptions about concepts they learned as a child.
For example, Chazal teach us that Hashem punishes midda keneged midda—measure for measure. Some people might perceive this as a form of revenge, chas v'shalom, as if to say, "If you act that way, I will do the same to you." This interpretation is a complete distortion of what midda keneged midda truly is.
Hashem desires for each person to attain eternal happiness, which sin would jeopardize. Midda keneged midda is one of Hashem's many acts of love, designed to guide us toward a better path.
Everything Hashem does is an act of chesed. We need to train fourselves to see events in this light and maintain the proper perspective
