Doing a big Teshuva might be great -- but when you love someone, it is not only about the big things, but in how you do the small things. Not that I am knocking the big things, they are important, but if you want to really show someone you love them, you have to constantly be doing the little things that matter so much.
This really spoke to me somehow. What "StrugglingYid" is talking about is doing something small for Hashem, JUST BECAUSE. Le'Chinam. Stam.
Because... it helps me keep my focus on Him, b'chol yom tamid. And maybe even because it gives Him nachas (K'Y) that His children still remember Him lovingly after all these years of golus and tzuris.
So, if I can remember to do little things for my wife and kids "just because," shouldn't it be a kal v'chomer to do this for Him?
So simple, yet so easy for me to forget.
I should try saying, "I'm about to do this 'easy' mitzvah... FOR YOU, Hashem." I'm about to walk away from this aveira opportunity... FOR YOU, Hashem."
Keep Him in mind always and do the SMALL stuff "for Him," and not just the BIG stuff. This is a powerful way to show Him our love, and to help us build up our love for Him each day.
