O thou who art advancing unto God! Thy precious and beloved
letter came to hand and all contents noted. Consider how the bounty of God hath
surrounded thee until it brought thee to the shore of the sea of the endless
and boundless gift of God! I supplicate the benevolence of God and His
providence to make thee a dazzling light and a merciful and bounteous gift to
His creatures; and to enable thee to be firm and steadfast in the Cause of the
Truth and to appoint thee as a means for the exaltation of His Word.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 2)
