Chesed Defined: Doing What We are Not Obligated to Do
When a person makes plans and things don’t end up going according to plan, it’s only natural to get frustrated. But fortunately for us, we know everything always goes according to Hashem’s plan and that is the best possible plan for us. The pasuk says, “מה' מצעדי גבר” – every step that we take is governed by the hashgacha of Hashem. If we are able to accept plans not working out with emunah, we can turn a potentially frustrating experience into a great avodat Hashem. Most of the time, we don’t see the benefits of our plans not working out, but sometimes we do and we should use those times to give us chizuk to realize we are always being guided to the places that Hashem knows are best for us to be in.
Our plans might not always go according to schedule, but we must remember, everything always goes according to Hashem’s plan.
