A Testing of Faith

Have you ever felt wrongly accused or perhaps made to look like an idiot in front of your peers?
This is a test of your emuna, or faith. A normal response, for many, is to defend yourself to make sure the truth is known!
There are times that we must let it go, to accept what is happening because these are instruments of HaShem to strengthen our character.

In the book of James it says in chapter 1 verse 2, My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have it's perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

As we trust that HaShem has us on His mind and is with us, then depression, anger, the need to defend ourselves will flee. So no matter how unbearable things may seem to be we can take comfort in knowing that we are in our Father's total care.
In the midst of our trials we must make tshuva, or repentance. We are here correcting our souls, to become righteous people to glorify HaShem with our lives!

Make TSHUVA! We must love our wives, our children, our fellow man! We must work toward this and the various trials that we endure will help facilitate the development of a righteous soul. Speak to HaShem throughout the day, acknowledge your short comings give thanks for the trials that our loving Father brings your way!

Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
