As a Father Loves His Only Son

The Baal Shem Tov taught that “G-d loves every Jew like a father loves a son born to him in his old age.” Indeed, His love for us surpasses a father’s love. It is only that we, limited mortals that we are, have no better terms to describe His love. At every single step; G-d takes each of us by the hand and leads us in the way that is best for us, both materially and spiritually.
