The Power of Accepting Your Matzav

Bitachon Weekly | June 25, 2025

A certain couple were married a bunch of years, and despite trying many different treatments, nothing worked. Finally, the doctors gave up hope on them ever having children, and even the most optimistic doctor had just given up hope. Finished. The day she found out that she isn't capable of having children, the wife went home and put on her Shabbos clothing, and cooked up a whole meal for her and her husband. When her husband came home, he asked her: What’s this all about? She said: I am giving up on having kids. I don’t need kids. They keep you up at night. I’m so excited just to have you! I am being M'kabel everything with Simcha.

The VERY NEXT DAY she received a phone call from her doctor, the one who had just given up hope, that they found a new approach to help them, and 9 months later they had their first child! She sincerely accepted her situation, it wasn’t fake, she threw in the towel, and made a party with real Simcha over her Matzav. That has the biggest power.

םיִיַח וֹל הָמָל אֹל יִאְו תוֹדִמַה תַריִבְשׁ םָדָאָה תוּיִח רָקיִﬠ The main point of life is Shviras HaMiddos, and without it, what is the point of living? (Gr”a). Being satisfied even when not getting what you want, and the Zechus of going against your nature, is Kodesh Kodoshim and can give the biggest Yeshuos.
