The only way we can emulate our Maker is to follow in His ways. Consider for a moment what it must “feel” like to be Him. Every day His Word is violated countless times. People know what’s right and yet regularly and consciously fail to live up to that standard. Does Hashem hold grudges? Does he block our attempts at repentance? Of course He doesn’t. And while we recognize that Hashem is not trapped by the human limitations that often block us, we can still use His compassionate, merciful standard as inspiration for our own behavior.
Wishing all a g’mar chasimah tovah.
