O thou who art attracted by the Word of
God!
Verily, I read thy letter which
contained new significances. I ask God to make thee a new creature so that the
lights of human perfections may shine through thee and to make thee kind
hearted unto all human beings so that thou mayest be a mercy unto souls, absolute
goodness to all, a sign of kindness, a word of tenderness. Verily, thy Lord is
the Mighty, the Powerful! He reviveth whomsoever He wisheth by the spirit of
righteousness and granteth unto whom He wisheth great bounty, guideth whom He
wisheth unto the path of life and confirmeth whom He desireth in attaining the
Kingdom of God.
As to thee, be confident in the mercy
of thy Lord, and ask what thou desirest. Verily, God is the Generous, the
Giver! (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha,
vol. 1’)
