אות-לו

According to the greatness and very loftiness of Hashem, may He be blessed, from a mere slight movement and a glance that is not fitting according to His honor, one could rightfully expect consequences, G-d forbid. But Hashem is full of mercy and the whole world is full of compassion, and He desires the world greatly. Therefore, my beloved, my brother — you who contemplate this, my very soul and heart — be very strong and courageous and trust in Hashem, for He will not abandon you. For everything that passes over you is entirely for your good — and lean upon His abundant mercies, which are beyond all measure. For Hashem is very great and His greatness is beyond investigation, and there is the matter of everything turning to good and transgressions turning into merits — only be strong and courageous. (ibid., Ois 49)
