Try with all your hearts to be willing channels for God’s
Bounty. For I say unto you that He has chosen you to be His messengers of love
throughout the world, to be His bearers of spiritual gifts to man, to be the
means of spreading unity and concord on the earth. Thank God with all your
hearts that such a privilege has been given unto you. For a life devoted to
praise is not too long in which to thank God for such a favour.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk, Paris, November 4, 1911, ‘Paris Talks’)
