Saying Positive Lies Can Truly Invite Major Yeshuos

The Gemara tells about: יֵהוּא בֶן נִמְשִׁי Yeihu ben Nimshi who was told by Elisha HaNavi to wipe out the Nevi'ei HaBaal. He tried to trap them, by telling them that he was also a Baal Avoda Zara like them. They trusted him, and they came over to him, and he wiped them all out. The Gemara says that despite his fake statement, he eventually became a Baal Avoda Zara himself, Rachana Litzlan! Imagine! מִדָּה טוֹבָה מְרוּבָּה How much more is...

In the most impossible situations a person should not give up, and by speaking positively, you invite goodness to your situation. Pele Yoetz
