Goodness Hidden Amidst The Bad

The Way of Emunah | November 27, 2023

Sefer Kedushas Levi states that when Hashem sends pain and suffering, it is actually are beneficial for a person. While the situation appears bad, it is actually good. However, one cannot see the Divine kindness with his human eyes.
