== Levels of Trust ==
The [[The Rebbe|Rebbe]] details several levels of trust, meaning the level of trust depends on the level from which this trust originates:

Trust in general comes from a person's love for G-d, like a son's love for his father, and therefore he is confident that G-d who loves him will save him from all evil.

* The first manner is when a person's trust comes from the person's love for G-d that originates from his attribute of kindness. Then, although he trusts in G-d, since the root of the trust is from the level of kindness and opposing kindness there is also severity - judgment, there is concern that severity might overcome kindness and therefore the trust is not complete.
* Higher than this is the measure of trust that comes from love originating in the intellect. This love is at a level above judgments and opposition, therefore he has no concern or doubt that the kindness will be nullified, and the trust is absolute.

The deficiency in the first level is that despite absolute trust in the existence of kindnesses, one does not trust that it will actually be drawn down to him below. But when the root of trust is from love at the level of Kesser (Crown), and the analogy given is of two lovers who made a covenant of peace between them, which is above intellect, and specifically in it there are no changes. And so it is also with the Jew's love that comes from his essence, for G-d promised "I have loved you, says G-d" and he is confident that G-d will act and influence only for his benefit.
