Faith \u2013 Harbinger of Hope<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was once asked to visit a sick man who was hovering between this world and the next.<\/p>\n

When I entered his room, I found him lying still as a stone. I began talking to him, telling him that even when a sharp sword rests on one\u2019s neck, he may not despair of Heavenly mercy.<\/p>\n

His daughter, sitting at his side, suddenly burst into tears. She cried out to me, \u201cHonored Rabbi, I am so envious of you. You have such strong faith and hope for a better tomorrow. As for me, my father is as good as dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

I shuddered at hearing her words. \u201cWhat gives you license to give your father a death sentence while he is still alive? Where there is life, there is hope. One may never despair of Heavenly mercy.\u201d<\/p>\n
