The Value of a Relationship: 3

Another aspect of a true relationship with Hashem is to speak to the heart of your Father in Heaven. To acknowledge to Hashem the glory of His Kingdom which is great. As we find Dovid HaMelech sang before Hashem many songs of praise. He continuously spoke of the wondrous things that He did under the sun. True inner peace comes when the recipient realizes that also the giver, Hashem, needs him, so to speak. As the Zohar says: People support their Father in Heaven. This is where you find Hashem's humility. He allows Himself to become a recipient from His beloved children. Even as we are in Exile, in Heaven they hope that we will not be silent. Rather that we should recognize how valuable we are that we have the ability to reveal the hidden glory of Hashem.

The Koznitzer Maggid writes that we can compare this to a human king who has all sorts of extravagances, entertainment, and music. When something happens to upset him the entertainers are brought before him to cheer him up. So too, Hashem has all sorts of beings that bring Him joy in the Upper Worlds. But with the Temple destroyed there is sadness in Heaven. There needs to be someone with Hashem in his heart to enter inside and to remove his own sadness and to rejoice for the honor of the King. "You are our eternal King, who will reign forever. Before you, everything else has no existence. The saviors will come up to Mt. Zion, and all will come to serve You. This is more pleasurable before Hashem than when we are happy and rejoicing when everything is going well.
