Purposely Wronged: Trusting the Divine Due
The pasuk says we are to love Hashem in all circumstances, “בכל לבבך, ובכל נפשך ובכל מאדך.” What does it mean “בכל לבבך – with all of our heart"? The Chovot HaLevavot, in the Shaar Ahavat Hashem, brings two explanations: One is בכל כבודך – we have to be ready to sacrifice even our honor for the sake of Hashem. How many times do people get shamed, and they don’t know where to put themselves. A person could become disgusted with his life because of an embarrassing situation that he suffered, or the person could say, “Hashem, I know that was from You. I’ll accept it as Your will. I’ll continue loving You, no matter what.”
Many times, people attempt to grow in religion. They pray harder to Hashem for salvation, they do things for zechuyot, but they get let down. And it could be, time after time, if instead of complaining or getting angry at Hashem, they could seize their opportunity and show their love to Hashem instead, then they would soar to the greatest heights.
