Heavily in the Red: Realizing All is an Undeserved Gift
Do Chesed, Get Chesed
When a person is presented with a chesed opportunity that will require him to give up a lot of time, an initial thought he might have is, if I spend all my time on this chesed, I won’t have enough time for myself. The Mesilat Yesharim in perek 19 tells us not to have that fear, because העושה חסד יקבל חסד– one who does chesed will receive extra chesed from Hashem, and who knows, it may very well be that the chesed opportunity the person is being presented with is Hashem’s way of enabling that person to receive berachot that would otherwise have not been available to him.
