Sharing the Workload

By Tzvi Freeman

In every venture, divide the workload between yourself and your Partner Above. The dividing line depends on the sort of venture.

In material matters, it is that point at which you become emotionally obsessed. Up until there, do your job as best you know how. Anything necessary past that line is best left in His trust.

In spiritual matters, take whatever He gives you and charge it with all you've got.

Re: spiritual matters (Rivka)

What I think you mean to ask is: Who is the "I" that is supposed to charge what G-d has given "me"--and who is that "me"?

G-d decided He wanted a being that would love Him. In that love is created a being that feels itself to be other than G-d, and for the sake of that love, it is other--although all it is, truly, is an artifact of that love.

And that is the "I".

spiritual matters

Dear Rabbi Tzvi Freeman
In spiritual matters, I take whatever G-d gives me and charge it with all I have got...
I'm afraid to ask the question for fear to hear back that if i have to ask this question it shows i haven't got annything...
But then that wouldn't make sense, wouldn't it? Cause just by being, G-d has given me something, in fact He's given me everything. I haven't got anything on my own.
So the question is: could you explain, please?
