Tzav Thought

The Nesivos Shalom says that the line we say about standing before G-d in judgement, "whether as children, or as servants" does not mean what we always thought it meant. He cites a Slonimer tradition that standing before G-d as his child means that we follow him Him out of love, while being a servant means doing it because we feel we have to, out of fear. And we are judged as to whether we connect with G-d on a high positive level, or only through the lower negative approach.

He connects this to the high praise that is associated with the Korban Shelamim, the peace offering. This is the korban that is offered not because of a mistake we made but solely as a positive gesture, reflecting our love of G-d, as a child to a parent.
