Prayer Insight 15

we spoke last time about the idea that even though Hashem knows what we want through prayer he gives us an opportunity to earn the things that we get and we spoke about the idea that earning is a greater pleasure than receiving is to bring out this idea a little bit more and the consequences of it which are really profound just think for a moment Hashem could have created the world in a world in a way and then it's just perfect we were given and we receive everything that we need it's a beautiful world everybody is smiling everybody is well you have everything the fruits the the gifts the pleasures it's handed to you on a platter what we're saying by is the fact that earning is greater than receiving means that this world with the gift of free will even though in my choices I can choose to do right or wrong but that world that has a being that has free will is a greater world than a world of seeming perfection a world of beauty award of enjoyment without earning is nothing compared to the greatness of the gift that God gave man he made us in His image with free will to be like him to earn even though we can do terrible things without earning right but the fact that we can earn and when we do what's good and what's right we have the pleasure in this world in the next that world is a greater world than perfection with really no meaning as automate UM's that can just receive pleasure there's no meaning in that but the greatness of a world where we can choose to do right or wrong and sometimes even do wrong is a greater gift to us than just receiving it takes a little bit of thought but if you can understand this point in life it gives us an opening to realizing so much about the mysteries of the world why bad things happen to good people and how could the vehicle carrying God in a world of suffering if you just ponder that and perhaps we'll talk some more about it think about that a little bit more that our ability to earn is the greatest gift that we have even though it carries within it the opportunity to God for to forbid make mistakes and do things that are wrong
