The Smallest Can Be The Greatest

In doing the study of Psalm 119, I am finding out so many things that just resonate with today’s society and so much of it has been lost. Did you know that the tenth letter of the Aleph Bet is Yod? Did you also know that it is the smallest letter yet is one of the most utilized letters? In fact I read where the Torah could very well be considered invalid without the kotz of Yod. The size of the letter denotes a humility and I found it interesting that the only letter that remained unchanged in Jocob’s name (Ya’akov) was the Yod (Yisrael) and the people who bore his name later would be the smallest of nations.

As I read this, I remember watching a video on the computer that spelled it out incredibly well. Two children, barely of walking age, say each other from across the park and began to run together with arms wide open. They came together and embraced and held each other as they chatted away looking directly at each other. This may seem like a normal thing but the point was that they embraced even though they were not of the same race. The humility of a child’s love for another is colour-blind, free from the encumbrances of what society will teach our children later in life. In a world where we fight for equality based on gender or race and rights of different categorizations of lifestyles spark anger on both sides, why can we not be humble and realize that we are all children of God. He sees past race, creed, colour and gender and seeks out the joy in the relationship. Society spends way too much time seeking ways to defend their rights and defining their life choices that they forget to seek after God with humility similar to a child running towards a familiar face seeking to embrace the love. Pride motivates to set our feet steadfast and demand that others recognize our rights, humility motivates us to seek out the perfection of His promise and embrace the love He pours out equally for all His creation.
