Have you been looking at good deeds all wrong? This episode of The Trust Factor challenges everything you thought you knew about mitzvot (good deeds) and divine reward.

We're diving deep into a revolutionary perspective from Chovot HaLevavot's Gate of Trust that might just transform your spiritual outlook. The opportunity to perform good deeds isn't your gift to the world—it's God's gift to you. This complete reversal of conventional wisdom shows how we've been misunderstanding the spiritual economy our entire lives.

When you host guests in your home or give charity, you're not doing God a favor that deserves recognition. You're utilizing the resources already graciously provided to you. "You don't owe me more. I continue to owe you," captures this powerful shift in thinking. Your house, car, and possessions aren't yours to leverage for divine favor—they're tools entrusted to you for higher purposes.

Perhaps most fascinating is how your intention dramatically affects your spiritual reward. A seemingly minor good deed performed with joy and pure intent can generate greater divine reward than major actions done grudgingly. We explore how genuine repentance (teshuvah) not only erases negative consequences but transforms past mistakes into spiritual credits—a demonstration of boundless divine love.

This episode calls for nothing short of a spiritual revolution.
