A simple moment of negotiating with my four-year-old daughter about wearing her seatbelt transformed into a profound spiritual revelation about God's desire to reward us for even the most basic actions. When my wife gently corrected my offering rewards for basic tasks, I realized this mirrors how God relates to us—creating numerous mitzvot not as burdens but as opportunities to shower us with blessings and rewards.• My daughter resisted wearing her seatbelt for our short drive home• I offered a "special reward" if she would comply• My wife pointed out I shouldn't always reward basic expected behaviors • This interaction revealed a profound spiritual insight about divine rewards• God created 613 mitzvot rather than just 10 to increase our reward opportunities• Even mundane actions like eating and using the bathroom become opportunities for divine connection• The Mishnah teaches God wants to bestow goodness and gifts upon us• We're not meant to observe mitzvot solely for rewards, but rewards exist because God loves usSupport the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!---------------- SUBSCRIBE to The Weekly Parsha for an insightful weekly talk on the week's Parsha.
