The Beauty of Salvation: Rejoicing in Another’s News
It is so beautiful to watch another person receive good news, especially if it is news of a salvation after months or years of tears and heartfelt prayers. That person will be filled with gratitude to Hashem, all of his words will be praise and thanks.
We need to thank Hashem for salvations after long periods of darkness. We need to thank Hashem for immediate salvations. And the greatest of all thank you’s is to thank Hashem when we are still in the darkness, before the salvation has arrived, to find what to appreciate even then and still wholeheartedly thank Hashem.
This is the greatest level, for a person to be able to thank Hashem even when he’s hungry, even when he’s tired and even when he’s cold. Thanking Hashem in those situations will give the person newfound life and, more importantly, it is an extremely high level of avodat Hashem.
