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.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1’)
