Future Joy: Realizing Kindness in His Revelation
A person might feel desperate, willing to do anything to receive salvation. The Mishpat Tzedek brings from Chazal that if a person accepts their hardships with love and declares, "Hashem, I know You have given me exactly what I deserve," this zechut can open the gates of mercy, bringing about salvation.
Of course, nothing is guaranteed—there may be other factors delaying a person's salvation. But if there are segulot that help unlock divine mercy, this is certainly one of them. And if a person has already faced disappointment after disappointment, that only makes the next act of acceptance even greater.
This world is fleeting. It is a world of toil.
We are here to work—day and night—diligently accumulating mitzvot, amassing a fortune to earn our place in the next world. And this avoda of accepting suffering with love is so great that it can accomplish what would normally take years of spiritual effort to accomplish.
The next time we are tempted to complain or feel down about our situation, we should stop ourselves and recognize the golden opportunity before us.
We can turn to Hashem and say:
"I know You want only my best. I know You are acting with absolute righteousness."
And if we can not only say these words, but truly feel them in our hearts, we will merit the highest levels in Olam Haba.
