Positive Speech

Posted on September 20, 2011 by Emuna Daily

When one guards his speech and engages others in conversations that are positive and constructive, the merit of Shmiras HaLoshon is multiplied many times because, by exercising restraint in speech, one draws others to this mitzvah as well.  ~ Chofetz Chaim

Hashem is Patient

Posted on September 19, 2011 by Emuna Daily
Don’t misinterpret Hashem’s patience and lovingkindness as a sign that what you are doing is Okay. Our sages warn (to paraphrase Avot 3:16), “The restaurant is open, and a hand is writing everything you eat on an itemized bill that you’ll ultimately have to pay – and there are no mistakes…” ~ R’ Lazer Brody

A Gift

Posted on September 13, 2011 by Emuna Daily
“What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it – would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.” ~ Ralph Marston

Don’t be Fooled by the Evil Inclination

Posted on September 12, 2011 by Emuna Daily
“What good is a football victory of 100-0 if there wasn’t an opponent on the field? Why does God send our souls down to this lowly material world? Hey, it’s all a test! Can I really find God and discover emuna despite the heavy opposition? Boom! I realized that the heavy spiritual opposition of the doubts and social convention are exactly what makes finding emuna so worthwhile! The tougher the opponent, the more glorious the victory! Once we destroy “the serpent” in our heads that tries its utmost to keep us away from God, we’re free to walk in the Garden of Emuna right there with God alongside. That’s paradise.” ~ R’Shalom Arush
