Did you ever meet an authority figure who was clearly in it for the wrong reasons?
We are given influence and dominion over others to express love, compassion, concern.
And in order to do that, we need to be plugged into the source of love. The source of love infuses our influence with love.
Chesed is Love.
And it is meant to inspire our Influence or dominion, which is Malchut, from a place of love.
But sometimes, we wield authority out of arrogance, a need to be in control, fear, or greed. We're not connected. We are not sourcing their Malchut in chessed.
Today is a day to reflect on whether our influence and authority are rooted in love. And to “lean in” to the source of love, the emanation of Chessed.
Chessed is the love that aligns and empowers authority and kingship that expresses love. That's an expression of chessed within malchut.
