Inspiration & Entertainment The Daily Dose of Wisdom Bringing Heaven Down to Earth

Struggle

Tzvi Freeman

Even if you fail to conquer the darkness entirely, even if you are still rolling in the mud with the enemy - you can still find G‑d in the struggle itself.

After all, He is not only light. He is darkness as well.

I think struggle itself cannot be a G-d. Reply

A reminder that even in our darkest hour, Hashem is there... of course it does not feel this way, for as mortals, we don't see the ways of teaching, a gift hidden in the darkness, but the gift is there in the light of the Torah, we all have times of dark (difficult times), it's what we gain from them, the gifts.
Easier said, than done especially when the light is a fragment, and out spark is taken.
But as a wise person once said, the best thing to remember is, "Baruch Hashem" either way. I only hope, I will remember when the light fads again, as life is dynamic and not static. Wishes to all, in the darkest times, a spark to remember and say, "Baruch Hashem"
Shalom to all....♡ Reply

Because God is everything, in darkness is when you are more inclined to search for God and seek his help to bring you to the light Reply
