The Scale

Posted on October 10, 2011 by Emuna Daily
At every moment, your Creator must decide, “Should I put up once again with this little creature’s imperfections and blunders, or is it time to measure things by the scale?”  Then He looks at the scale you use to measure others. And with that same measure, He measures you.
~ R’ Tzvi Freeman based on the wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe

Yonah

Posted on October 5, 2011 by Emuna Daily

“The belief in a world to come is the basis of genuine emuna, providing an explanation to many of life’s perplexities.  Our powers of comprehension and cognizance become greatly enhanced when we realize that our lives began long before we’re born and continue long after we die.” ~ The Garden of Emuna

Love Letter

Posted on October 3, 2011 by Emuna Daily

With emuna, a person can start to see their suffering as a sort of ‘love letter’ from Hashem, telling them: “Dear son or daughter, I love you, I miss you and I am waiting for your prayers…”  ~ R. Shalom Arush
