The World Was Created For You

Every Jew must say, “The world was created for me.” While everything else in the world was created for another purpose, the Jew is the purpose! No matter what a Jew may look like on the outside, he is essentially one with G-d and his true desire is only to do the Mitzvos and stay away from sins. Every detail in a Jew’s life is an extremely important purpose in itself, and we have the responsibility to make sure that everything that we think, say or do befits the Jew’s status as G-d’s “first fruits” that belong “before Hashem, your G-d.”
