It’s G‑d’s world. Everything He gives is good, the sweetest good.
But it is often a good far too great for us to understand. We imagine it is not good, because that’s the only way to make sense of it with our small minds.
Yet the truth is, He gives us all the good we can handle. If we could take more, He would give us that as well.
Trust Him. Trust is the capacity to embrace blessings larger than your mind can hold.
G_d's abundance is embedded in His light of wisdom (Hochma). This wisdom is so profound and beyond our human reasoning that we are only able to receive it in small doses.
G_d has a system that can only give us as much light of hochma that we can handle.
We need to clothe His light by reflecting our light of 'Hassadim':
To the extent we can align with His love by placing a restriction over our desire for self-benefit and feel gratitude to receive His light, we are merited to understand true Love, His thought of creation and a greater awareness of reality.
Finally we can put the whole picture together.
After attaining many levels of understanding we will reach the highest perception of onenes, wholeness and peace.
We will know the 'greatest good'.

Is the word Trust the same as Emunah? Reply
No, but they are strongly related.
Emunah is there all the time. You know G‑d is good and there is only one of Him.
Bitachon—trust—is what kicks in when your emunah is challenged and you feel a need to hold tight. You know G‑d is good, there’s only one of Him, and everything will turn out to be good for all to see.

B’H I agree 100% when my needs are met and I’m satisfied anything extra is a blessing. Every time I bless and thank HaShem He adds more. As long as I’m humble and appreciate the source and remember the scripture, where there is good evil is present. I know He has more in store I have to be able to receive it. Resisting temptation and pride of the illusion that I am bestowing when I’m only the recipient. I trust in HaShem with all my being. This is where I realized the fear of The L-ord makes perfect sense. I can’t do this without Him. Love is the light and the way. When we love all as one the reward is the blessing itself.

I would like to believe this wholeheartedly. But how does being afflicted with terminal cancer count as G-d only giving the sweetest good? Or any other terrible problems people have to struggle with?
Cathy, if we knew, we would be G‑d.
Thank you for your reply, Rabbi. I hope one day the mystery will be revealed.
