Good morning Bitachon of the day 💕
As we are approaching Purim, Megillah Esther contains no open miracle, but when you put all the pieces of the puzzle together and read them in order, you clearly see the hand of Hashem, how all the seemingly random events fit together so perfectly to create the hidden miracle of Purim. “Megillah” shares the same root as the words le’galgel (to roll) and me’galeh (to reveal).
Each individual event or experience may seem insignificant and happenstance, but if we put all the pieces together, connecting the dots between the seemingly random events, we begin to see the beauty manifest in our own personal Megillah. We can suddenly see the turning points in our lives; we retroactively perceive the life-changing decisions and events that until now seemed
meaningless and random. Whether it was choosing a specific school, meeting a friend or spouse at a specific time, or visiting a certain place when we did, our past becomes a masterpiece, ready for us to admire and appreciate.
As I reflect on my life, I can discern a spiral of events that have guided me to my present circumstances. When I made the decision to move to London, I went with my childhood best friend, who was not Jewish. However, after a few months, we had a significant argument that, to this day, remains perplexing to me.
But that fight ultimately led me to move out and find a new living situation with my Jewish friend from Milan. It was during this time that I discovered the importance of having a Jewish community and family. Living with her aunt and two other girls, they established a beautiful tradition of gathering around a Shabbat table every Friday, for me it was a first, where we all contributed to prepare for the meal. I fell in love with this experience and made the decision to transform my entire life accordingly. I broke up with my long term boyfriend that wasn’t Jewish, because it was clear to me that I wanted a Jewish family in a Jewish environment.
If I hadn't had that fight with my best friend, I might never have had the transformative experience that led me to love Shabbat and alter my life's trajectory. While the loss of my best friend was deeply painful and brought me to tears for a long time, it ultimately became the catalyst for profound change in my life.
I've encountered numerous pieces in my life that, when connected, reveal Hashem's orchestration. I'm confident that if you delve into it, everyone has a similar pattern, a vast puzzle where each piece holds significance in shaping who you've become today.
It's evident to me that every dot in my life is guided by the hand of Hashem. He recognized my life's purpose and helped me achieve it by connecting all the dots.
He somehow managed to awaken a completely lost soul.
When viewing life from a different perspective and being aware of Hashem's presence, it allows you to see your life in a different light.
May we all write our own Megillah and see Hashem’s hand through out your life story amen 🙏
Wishing you all a wonderful day ❤️
