WILLFUL WAYS

[95b bottom] Gemarah: If a person is collecting on a loan and the free property becomes ruined, this creditor can collect from encumbered property that was sold (even in cases where the ruin was not anticipated as long as the creditor himself did not cause the free property to become unable to be used [Meiri; Choshen Mishpat 111:12].

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: Even at times when things may seem bleak for us, Hashem always provides us with a way to take care of our needs. Just as creditors get reimbursed (even without any ‘free’ property), so too we should realize that G-d will always finds ways to take care of us even if the one road we see seems “gone” or closed off.
