A simple moment of negotiating with my four-year-old daughter about wearing her seatbelt transformed into a profound spiritual revelation about God's desire to reward us for even the most basic actions. When my wife gently corrected my offering rewards for basic tasks, I realized this mirrors how God relates to us—creating numerous mitzvot not as burdens but as opportunities to shower us with blessings and rewards.
• My daughter resisted wearing her seatbelt for our short drive home
• I offered a "special reward" if she would comply
• My wife pointed out I shouldn't always reward basic expected behaviors
• This interaction revealed a profound spiritual insight about divine rewards
• God created 613 mitzvot rather than just 10 to increase our reward opportunities
• Even mundane actions like eating and using the bathroom become opportunities for divine connection
• The Mishnah teaches God wants to bestow goodness and gifts upon us
• We're not meant to observe mitzvot solely for rewards, but rewards exist because God loves us
