Hear thou Me once again. God is well-pleased with thee [1],
as a token of His grace and a sign of His mercy. He hath made thee to be His
companion in every one of His worlds, and hath nourished thee with His meeting
and presence, so long as His Name, and His Remembrance, and His Kingdom, and
His Empire shall endure. Happy is the handmaid that hath mentioned thee, and
sought thy good-pleasure, and humbled herself before thee, and held fast unto
the cord of thy love. Woe betide him that denieth thy exalted station, and the
things ordained for thee from God, the Lord of all names, and him that hath
turned away from thee, and rejected thy station before God, the Lord of the
mighty throne.
(Baha’u’llah, quoted by Shoghi
Effendi in a letter dated December
21, 1939; ‘Messages to America’)
