Verily the Abhá Beauty made a promise to the beloved who are
steadfast in the Covenant, that He would reinforce their strivings with the
strongest of supports, and succour them with His triumphant might. Erelong
shall ye see that your illumined assemblage hath left conspicuous signs and
tokens in the hearts and souls of men. Hold ye fast to the hem of God’s
garment, and direct all your efforts toward furthering His Covenant, and
burning ever more brightly with the fire of His love, that your hearts may leap
for joy in the breathings of servitude which well out from the breast of
‘Abdu’l-Bahá. Rally your hearts, make firm your steps, trust in the everlasting
bounties that will be shed upon you, one following another from the Kingdom of
Abhá.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Selections from the
Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha)
