LEV1148 One must remember how much one is inclined to love another who looks with favor upon him, as it is written (Mishlei 27:19): "As in water, face is reflected to face, so the heart of man to man." And certainly, if one sees the king looking upon him with favor and showing that he loves him, how much more will one love him and praise him and glorify him for this! And much more so with respect to the Blessed Creator, who made it known to us that He loves us and Who helps us and Who promised to love us in all generations, as it is written [this verse]. How much more so must we love the Blessed Creator every day and every moment!
