Good Fruit

"There is a different proceeding in picking out the bad from the good or vice versâ. If one wishes to remove the bad from the good, one usually does it in just one attempt; while if the good are picked out from the bad, one is, as a rule, not satisfied with just one attempt, for one is eager to find more and more of the good, so he reverts to seeking out more, in the hope of finding more good worth selecting. Thus the Holy One, blessed be He! in selecting Israel from the heathen, is continually looking forward for more of other nations to be brought under the wings of the Shekinah." - Numbers Rabba 10
