Save Yourself from Debt

How good is Hashem! We need to learn how to truly live with emuna. When it’s difficult, when nothing moves, living with simple emuna means that we must be happy with his portion even if he needs to give up on particular things.  

 

You should take a notebook and write all of his debts. Which debts? All the things that he owes to himself. 

 

Whatever he wants, he should write – I want this and I owe this to myself. 

 

Living with simple emuna means first and foremost, to accept with love the restricted income. To say “Thank You G-d for everything that You gave us and that You continue to give us. And thank You, Creator of the Universe, that now You are guiding us in a more limited fashion.” This is called living life with emuna.  

 

As we’ve said, it’s worthwhile for a person to be only in debt to himself.  The main thing is to not be indebted to someone else, because that is indescribable and unimaginable suffering. 

 

But if we accept this situation with emuna, then we will not suffer. 

 

May it be G-d’s will that everyone will always have abundant income. Amen! So may it be!
