Bar/Bat Mitzvahs

It was said that if Rabbi Zvi Hirsch of Chortkow [a small town in the Ukraine] blessed someone, GăD fulfilled that blessing.

He once was asked for an explanation of why GăD always fulfilled his blessings.

"It's really very simple, and it's certainly no miracle," replied Rabbi Zvi Hirsch. "All my life I have made sure never to say anything unecessary and to always speak the absolute truth. After all my efforts to always tell the truth, would GăD make me a liar by not granting one of my blessings?"
