Ekev - is this the end of the year - or a new beginning?

In Devarim chapter 11 (end of this week's portion) - verse 12 it says: G-d inquires about ... (nd) views Israel from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. 
So what does that do for us? 

If we look at verses 22-25 - it gives us a key:
"just do this Mitzva - follow in the Almighty's ways ... and LOVE G-d and
...
you'll inherit the LAND (Israel) 
...
and the nations will FEAR you (Pachad) and be in dread (Morah) of you.

G-d is always looking at what is happening in Israel.
The world is always looking at what is happening in Israel.
G-d looks with love-
but the worldlooks with fear!

G-d loves Israel - and we should love G-d just for that!
But the more we love the Almighty - the more the world is in fear of us-
BECAUSE THEY JUST DON'T GET IT! 

If only they realized that they should learn from us how to HAVE SOUL!

Below seems to be a quote from Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach :
When Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden the Almighty kept part of their souls-
which he gives back to those who keep the Sabbath! That's the 
Neshama Yesayra - the "extra soul" of Shabbos!

If only we could teach the world to love shabbos
they would have MORE SOUL
and not need to fear Israel - but to join us in loving G-d for all the extra soul we get from the Almighty!

Shabbat Shalom
