Why Did Hashem Create Me? Yechezkel Stelzer

Why Did Hashem Create Me?

Hashem made us all. We know that, but why?
Some people think He was lonely in heaven up high.

But Hashem did not make us for his entertainment,
Or to boss us around.

Hashem's not a tyrant who needs servants who'll obey
To do certain things in just the right way.

He's not some super-being up in the sky
Watching us as the days go by.

Some people think that Hashem doesn't care,
That He forgot them, dislikes them, or is simply not there.

The truth is that Hashem doesn't need anything.
Within Him exists absolutely everything!

Hashem created every single thing that exists!
From the galaxies and stars, to the knuckles on your fists.

So why did Hashem make you and me?

To give and to share all of His goodness,
Was Hashem's only unfulfilled wish.

Hashem didn't need to make us. He wanted to.
He made people, as an expression of love.
Every life, including yours, is a gift from above.

Life's a gift full of wonder, love, joy, and mystery!
And there's never been anyone like you in history!

Hashem created you to be just who you are,
One-of-a-kind! Made to shine, like a star!

Your life, your good heart, gentle soul, and your dreams,
Are Hashem's gifts to the world, and to you and me.

You have something to offer the world, all your own,
Something no one else can give, just you alone.

Hashem's message is simple: your life is a gift!
Love yourself. Love your life. Share your gifts with all of us.

Don't worry if you make mistakes on the way.
Everyone does. It will all be okay.

When life feels hard, you mustn't be led
By some of the thoughts that pop into your head,
The ones that tell you, "You're not enough."
Hashem always wants you to show yourself love.

Even when you don't win, even when you mess up,
You are never, never, ever unworthy of love.

Take care of yourself. Don't give me a "But..."
Hashem wants you to love yourself, no matter what.

You are a gift. Don't forget it. It's true.
That's why Hashem created YOU.
