Sha’ar HaBitachon - Episode Fifty-Two
,
~ !
In this episode, we are enjoined to properly contemplate, fully absorb, and internalize Hashem's benevolent kindness until we come to "Know" it. This will lead us into experiencing true Trust in G-d, e.g., Bitachon.
Rabbeinu Bachaya believed that focus on our Creator's Boundless Kindness would necessarily lead us into Trust. In sharp contrast to people's kindness that invariably isn't dispensed with purest of intentions and comes with expectations of reciprocity. The Creator’s kindness, however, has no hidden agendas or limits! Appropriately awareness will inspire us to place our unreserved and total Trust in Hashem.
