Finding Joy in Judgment: The Reward of Acceptance
It says in the Tanna Diveh Eliyahu (3:7), whoever admits that his pain or suffering is coming from Hashem and he’s happy, realizing Hashem is doing it for his own benefit, he’ll be given life in this world and in the World that lasts forever." The Gemara teaches us, yisurin – affliction – is not only referring to great hardships. Even the smallest inconveniences are also considered yisurin. Nobody likes to be inconvenienced, but once it happens, the greatest thing we could do for ourselves is recognize that it came from Hashem and accept it with happiness.
One of the inconveniences of life that people try to avoid as much as possible is having to wait for something, whether it is waiting on a long line, waiting in traffic, waiting for a turn to be called in an office or waiting for someone to return a phone call. Every minute of waiting is considered yisurin and brings kapara.
We hope that all those waiting for a salvation will receive it very soon, but until the salvation comes, they can utilize their opportunity and go through it with emunah and soar to great spiritual heights.
