The King And You

לרפואת אסתר רות בת נעמי שרה 

You wake up in the morning. You woke up!!!! What a HUUUUUGE bracha. Many people didn't wake up this morning who woke up yesterday morning.

You open your eyes. You can open your eyes!!!! Many people either can't open up their eyes or can but it doesn't help them because they can't see. Rachaman Litzlan - Looord save us.

You breathe. Unaided. Many people can breathe only with the health of a special machine. Others can breathe but it is not easy for them. Ahhh - breath! 

You say מודה אני לפניך מלך - STOOOPPPP!! "I thank before you king." No. King. Capital "K". The King of kings. Woooow. There is this MASSIVE Divine system of Kingship where everything is within the jurisdiction of the King. No sin goes unpunished, no good deed goes unrewarded. Everything is being guided towards the pinnacle of history when it is clear to all that Hashem is King and the world reaches perfection. And what is your place??

Says the Rav ztz"l:

"שישותו הפרטית של האדם היא אחת מהכונניות של הממלכה העצומה".

YOUR personal existence is an important cog in the machine of Divine Kingship. YOU are the MAN!! [Or Woman!!] You are a partner in this great saga of world history as it develops toward an appreciation of the Ultimate Truth. What SIMCHA. So EXCITING to get up.

Let us dance - in our pagamas!!!!
