Book Title Bringing Heaven Down to Earth
Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

34. G-d Involved

When a parent loves a child,

He stoops down to the child, with such love,
he leaves his language to speak the language of the child,
he leaves his place to play the games of the child,
he leaves his entire world and all the maturity he has gained in thirty, forty years or more to become excited, sincerely excited, by those things that excite the child, to react as the child reacts, to live with the child in the child’s world with all his being…

So too, G-d feels our pain and our joy. He lives intimately with us in our world. Yet He is infinite, beyond all things —even as He is here with us.

Maybe just because we can't see him. But, there is no doudt that He is there, we just have to learn to trust our feelings.

It is said that a society is judged by how it treats its children and its elders.

We are given children in order to become better adults. Now it is up to us to find ways to reintegrate ourselves and our world with both "ends" of our being.
