hello how are you hope you're having a
great day today wanted to give our
daily lot of amazing things happening
here in
Jerusalem good news we're uh doing a sh
with RAB mrai tomorrow night and really
looking forward to it uh it's going to
be in
um somewhere somewhere in the I forget
um and
N so um
uh but the key that I've heard today at
least uh that that people are constantly
asking about it in regards to Chua in
regards to getting close to Hashem in
regards
TOA is how does it work what do you do
how do you get to a point of of
fulfilling your purpose how do you get
to a point where you live a life with
complete amuna complete faith in Hashem
complete trust in him and a not only an
understanding but better yet a m a
feeling that he's with you all at all
times so we said this in one of our shim
in in Miami uh I think it's Shi number
71 a lot of people liked it because they
really talked to put this whole thing
I'm going to say in 10 minutes in
perspective over a couple of hours uh
with a lot more
details but when it comes down to chuva
when it comes down to doing things a lot
of people believe that listen if you
take it one step at a time step by step
small steps small steps eventually
you're going to get to the prize maybe
in life it works that way in some things
but when it comes to
chuva it only works half the way meaning
that imagine you you want to boil water
and you want to boil the water because
you want to make yourself tea or you
want to you need boiling water nothing
less and obviously there's nothing more
but you wait you wait you wait you wait
and then maybe one you know one minute
before the water actually gets to
Boiling you take it off the
pot and then you put it back on the pot
and then one minute before it gets to
Boiling you take it off and you let let
it
cool and then you do it again so in so
many words you realize that it's never
going to get to Boiling
why because it's always small steps it's
always small steps but they're never big
enough to get you to where you want to
be when Hashem is sending us a test when
Hashem is sending us a message whether
it's the message is to wake us up out of
this blindness out of this foolishness
out of this lie that we live and and and
Fabrication that we've created in our
mind and let the take over to make us
believe that everything everything we're
doing is perfect and we have nothing to
worry
about when Hashem send us a message to
wake us up he's going to send it in
several
ways sometimes he's going to create
different problems that didn't exist
before whether it's shalom issues
children issues all types of
things if our ways continue the problems
become bigger he sends US money
problems if we don't listen then he
starts taking away a lot of money they
call money Ze in the because it moves
from place to place Ze means
move and why because it moves from place
to place AEM decides who to give his
money
to based on their actions it's not your
money it's his money all of it
everything is his so he decides who to
give it to and sometimes he decides to
take it away from from somebody he
lended to whether it be me you or anyone
else that deserves that test in order to
wake them up and see if they look up at
sham and realize that it's all coming
from him in the first
place also keep in mind that when
someone loses a lot of money it's
generally the best news that they ever
got because the money money is also
called in the which means
Bloods kazal teaches us why is it called
Bloods because AEM actually has a decree
the the
the the one that's actually coming to
Hashem and showing you know showing off
all of the sins we made tells theem Hey
listen you know you built the world of
justice and based on the sins that this
fellow made he deserves a death
penalty Hashem obviously doesn't want to
kill us but at the same token he has to
be the God of Justice so he says okay
instead of killing them then I'll take
away their money because money is Bloods
money is in rep replacement of blood why
because people spend their entire life
and in essence all of their blood to get
money so sometimes when we lose a lot of
money which obviously we take as bad
news naturally we do it's actually the
best news we ever got because if you had
a million dollar or $100 million if
you're not here it's not worth anything
for you you can't take it to
Ala if we still don't listen then
obviously becomes more difficult and
health issues become a major problem and
Hashem is not just going to take us out
of this world you know and and and make
us believe that uh you know that this is
it okay you failed your test and that's
it he's going to keep trying us and
trying us and trying us why because he's
trying to build
us when we realize that this is all a
test this is all part of the
purpose then we can move on to the next
step then we realize that all of these
difficulties are happening for a reason
Hashem is trying to wake us up and he's
telling telling us my son my daughter it
you did the step by step you got the
water hot but it be it's not boiling I
need it to boil I need you to take a big
step no not a small step a big
step to show hasem that we're genuine to
show Hashem that our chuva is legitimate
to show Hashem that we actually believe
in
him once in a while we have to take a
big step
get the water to be
boiling once it boils we get our tea we
drink the enjoyable tea and we take
small steps small steps and small steps
and small steps and small steps and once
in a while it's time to take a big step
now it's your choice of whether you're
going to take the big step on your own
or you're going to wait for Hashem to
tell you that you need to obviously the
suggestion is for you to not wait for
Hashem to tell you because Hashem is not
like me sending you text messages in
middle of the night hasem send you
messages in a different way and my
suggestion is you probably don't want to
hear those messages you probably want to
just do it on your own point being here
is that yes small steps work but only if
they're combined with big steps once in
a while to show that we're serious this
is the secret of chuva this is the
secret to life and this is secret secret
to success ESS in anything you can't
just take small steps forever bunting in
baseball may get you on first base but
you're not going to win the World Series
with just bunting you're not even going
to win the game with just bunting
sending you know hitting with the sports
if you have a guy running in a uh you
know one yard uh you know each time yes
it's nice to see the guy beat up a bunch
of people on his way down but it's still
not going to get you the first down
doing small deals every day and you know
making a 100 bucks yes it's nice it's an
extra $100 you didn't have but it's not
going to pay the overhead of a large a
large growing company same concept works
with AEM yes the small steps help out
but the their only purpose is to prepare
you for the big step because the big
step is what Hashem is waiting
for we all take this very seriously and
realize that in the end of days that we
find ourselves in we always have to
think about if the showed up
today have I taken a big enough
step to see him and not be embarrassed
think about
this you'll know the right decision
