Small tidbits and Sparks of wisdom

A.
Those who love God recognize that everything—religious and secular—is under His decree. Free choice exists, but never outside Divine control. They stop chasing preferred outcomes and abandon obsession with circumstances. Instead, they trust that the Creator selects what is best and most fitting for them. Their confidence is not emotional optimism but firm conviction that all movement in their lives aligns with God’s will.
B. Alignment of Will and Desire
When they learn from the Torah what God desires, they reshape their inner will accordingly. Physical cravings lose their grip, not by force alone but because longing for God replaces them. Their free choice is exercised in harmony with His will. They no longer live for this world’s attractions; their hearts are directed upward. Their primary hope is to be strengthened to serve God properly and fulfill His commandments as fully as possible.
C. Conduct Rooted in Humility and Restraint
They praise God for what they can accomplish and take responsibility—not excuses—for what they cannot. Where strength is lacking, they apologize before God and resolve to act when able. Internally detached from worldly concerns, they engage bodily needs only when necessary. They are humble, patient when wronged, wise in speech, and modest in conduct. Their awe of God eclipses ego, status, and idle talk.
D. Devotion Expressed Through Discipline
Their love expresses itself through obedience, restraint, and endurance, not spiritual theatrics. They abstain from prohibitions, accept effort and patience as the price of service, and understand that the mitzvot demanded of them are few compared to what God gives. They walk the upright path even when it is narrow and unrewarding in the short term. Love of God empties their hearts of trivial pursuits and anchors them in the choicest path of life.
Bottom line:
This is not mystical escapism. It is disciplined faith.
Love of God here means submission of will, mastery of desire, humility in action, and consistency in service. Anything less is sentiment, not belief.
