The Journey to Eden


Following our seemingly endless slavery in Egypt, on the way to a homeland I call Eden; we encountered a sea of hope, and faith.  The end was almost in sight, but we were unsure of ourselves.  We said, “What if Hashem abandons us?  What if this is all a fluke?”  We had seen miracles, but we had also experienced great horrors.  Indeed, we were scared.

We didn’t yet know if we could trust in Gd, and to this day some of us still question such things saying, “How can a loving and powerful Gd allow something such as the Holocaust?”

We need to dream or Gd can never part the sea for us.

We need Hashem, because nothing short of a miracle is what we should expect when we have the Author of the cosmos on our side.

Because of Hashem, I Have Endless Hope

I love that I have hope through faith. I have faith that we can do things even so great that we can change the weather for better through good deeds, including faith. My Gd is an awesome G-d of which there is no feat that He can’t accomplish, and I am grateful He allows me access to some of His power. Life has taught me that faith and keeping Hashem’s commands is the pathway to paradise on earth. It is beyond me why anyone would doubt this, given what I have seen happen in my life.

Hashem has performed many miracles in my life, such that I believe that there is nothing I can’t accomplish through Him. Hashem has always answered my greatest prayers and I have no reason to believe that He will stop answering them, provided that I delight in the Lord. Being married with children is an awesome feat that I have accomplished through Hashem. I have the best wife and child on earth. Additionally, through Hashem I have experienced great healing, and this healing is one of the reasons why it may seem that being married with my wife, and having a son may have seemed like a modest goal, but to me it is a real one; huge that is. Back when I was suffering for years on end I used to pray to no avail, as I did not pray to Gd, that he would even grant me a gift so small, as it may seem to others, the gift of being able to hear two people in conversation. Thus, it is such that when I had faith in Hashem, I experienced great healing. Now it is easy for me to hear such a conversation, as Hashem worked through a doctor who was able to heal me.

Even still with all that I have accomplished, I believe even greater things will come into my life. As far as it concerns me the goals that I have already mentioned where so great that they were as far as the east is from the west. Who knows, I have seen such amazing things happen in my life to me, that maybe I will conquer another goal, to live forever, as Hashem has taught me that no dream is too big to dream.
