Description

When we have it good in this world it is a lot easier to love Hashem; when we don't have it good it is not so simple. In order to reach conditional love, we must feel that everything we have comes from Hashem. If we want to love Hashem, we must make sure that yissurim (suffering) will not be a cause for His love to cease. No one lives without suffering. The proper way of looking at things is to see the gift in suffering, so that the suffering will not be an obstacle in one’s serving Hashem.
