Cold Intellect
There is a cold, harsh land where G-dliness is not allowed to come,
 and it is called Intellect. As the Zohar says, "Intellect cannot grasp Him at all."
Yet, ultimately, G-dliness must come to dwell even in that place which by definition
cannot contain Him. Your mind must struggle to understand all that it can, and then
 even harder to sense that which cannot be known.

Insufficient Understanding
Let's say you saw a magnificent machine,
 with hundreds of thousands of parts,
 all working in spectacular unison and harmony,
far beyond anything the human mind could contrive.
And you examined the details of this machine
and found that some aspects of its workings puzzle you.
Would you complain to the inventor?
Or would you pray in awe for understanding?
In general, the universe's wondrous design is obvious.
We just have to admit insufficient understanding of certain aspects.

Growing Each Day (Excerpts)
Rabbi Abraham Twerski
For Israel is a young lad, therefore I love him (Hosea 11:1).
Historically, the Jewish nation is one of the oldest in existence. In terms of behavior and reactions, it is the youngest.
No nation has experienced the traumas that have repeatedly befallen the Jewish nation. Expelled from its homeland and subjected to inquisitions, pogroms, holocausts, and hostility everywhere, the Jewish nation reacts with the resilience of a child. Its bones bend rather than break. Injuries heal quickly, and while still smarting from its wounds, it rises and is back into action.
We individuals should learn from the nation to never grow old in this sense No one's life is free of distressful experiences and trauma. At any age, we can retain the vigor and resilience of youth and go on with the business of creativity and constructive living.

 A house, too, is defined by what it contains.
Fill your house with books of Torah, and your house becomes a Torah.
 Affix charity boxes to its walls, and your house becomes a wellspring of charity.
 Bring those who need a warm home to your table,
and your house becomes a lamp in the darkness.
