but secretly love Netflix more.
“Netflix vs G-d: Who’s really winning?”
I know—because I used to be one of them.
Do You Love G-d's Gifts More Than the Giver?
I used to have lots of moments where I loved things more than G-d.
• It wasn’t because I didn’t believe.
• It wasn’t because I didn’t care.
• It wasn’t because I wasn’t grateful.
In fact, I felt gratitude often.
But I cared about the gifts—the pleasures, the comforts, the conveniences—more than the Giver.
Then something clicked:
I was chasing temporary joy and missing the Source.
Where Does a Change of Heart Begin?
I realized:
No one else could shift my heart but me.
• Not my rabbi.
• Not my friends.
• Not a sudden miracle.
What Small Habit Grows Your Love for G-d?
It had to come from inside. So, I tried something simple:
Every joy I experienced, I paused and thought:
“Who made this moment possible?”
Then I said: “Thank you, G-d, for giving me this joy.”
It was a small shift—but powerful. Soon I began wanting G-d more than just His gifts. We often love what we receive more than the one who gives it.
The truth?
Real joy comes when you love the Giver more than His gifts.
Try it yourself:
Pause, notice, appreciate. Your love for G-d grows from these moments.
And that love?
It changes your life.
