Parashat Vayishlach: Heavily In The Red
Everything we have was given to us by Hashem as an undeserved gift. How do we know if we really believe that? One way we could tell is during the times when we aren’t getting what we want, or what we’re praying for. If we honestly believe that we don’t deserve anything, then we won’t say, “Why isn’t Hashem giving me; aren’t I so good?” Rather, we would say, “Hashem You have given me so much until now, even though I didn’t deserve it. Must be, You know now that what I’m asking for will not be good for me at the moment, and that’s why You’re not giving it to me. If I would make an accounting to see if I deserved what you have already given me, I would see that I’m very heavily in the red.”
We should always pray to Hashem to give us what we want, but we must realize we definitely don't deserve it. And if Hashem decides it's better for us not to have it, we should never complain. We should thank Him for what He has given us already and for doing for us now what we need for our best.
Shabbat Shalom!!
