Real Existence

You are born into the world, but until someone comes to you and tells you I love you, you are still a stranger in the world. You feel like a stranger, you're not really here yet. The Zohar Kodesh says to take a stranger and invite him into my house means I am giving this person even more existence than G~D gave him. G~D sent him into this world and he is here, but this is not real existence yet. The real, real, existence of a person has to be given by another person. The whole thing about the Baal Shem Tov is that we have to give the world existence. G~D created the world. but we have to give it existence. What happens if I drink Coca-Cola and make a blessing over it blessed be the L-rd who created the world with His word. What am I doing to the Coca-Cola? I am giving it existence. Because so far the Coca-Cola was like nothing. Even G~D needs us to give Him existence, G~D is there, but until I really say He's there. He's not really there.
