You Can’t Give What You Don’t Have - Rabbi YY Jacobson

There's no way I can give $100 to my child if I don't have $100. I can be the greatest magician in the world and I can have the biggest heart in the world. If I don't have $100 in my wallet or bank account, all the love in the world cannot allow me to give $100 to my child. With $100, everybody knows that if you don't own it, YOU CAN'T GIVE IT. WHY DOES ANYBODY THINK THAT I CAN give love to my child if I don't have love? Why does anybody think I can give a heart to a child if my heart has been shut down 53 years ago not to be opened? WHY DOES ANYBODY THINK I CAN GIVE PRESENTS TO A child if I don't have? With money, it's clear. You think with emotions, which are infinite, it's any less? The greatest gift anybody can give their child is not money, presents.
