O ye sincere ones, ye longing ones, ye who are drawn as if
magnetized, ye who have risen up to serve the Cause of God, to exalt His Word
and scatter His sweet savours far and wide! I have read your excellent letter,
beautiful as to style, eloquent as to words, profound as to meaning, and I
praised God and thanked Him for having come to your aid and enabled you to
serve Him in His widespreading vineyard.
Erelong shall your faces be bright with the radiance of your
supplications and your worship of God, your prayers unto Him, and your humility
and selflessness in the presence of the friends. He will make of your
assemblage a magnet that will draw unto you the bright rays of divine
confirmations that shine out from His kingdom of glory.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha)
