Beauty of God!

I have read thy kind letter and voiced thy words which
show the excess of thy love to God, the greatness of thine adherence
to the Cause of God and the abundance of thine attraction to the
Kingdom of God. From a man like unto thee such words are always
expected and it is your duty thus to proclaim.

I do greet thee from this Exalted Place, while thou art
in that far distant country, and present to thee salutations and
praise, and I see thee with the eye of the heart as though thou were
present here and I speak to thee by the tongue of the Spirit, saying:
“Blessed thou art with every blessing! Then preach to the
beloved of God in that country the glad-tidings of El-Baha!”

My God! my God! thou art my hope and my beloved, my
intended aim and desire! With great humbleness and entire devotion I
pray to Thee to make me the minaret of Thy love in Thy region, the
lamp of Thy knowledge among Thy creatures and the banner of thy gift
in Thy Kingdom.

Make me one of Thy worshippers who cut themselves from
everything but Thee and sanctify themselves from everything
pertaining to the world and divert themselves from the defects of the
suspicious.

Let my heart be dilated with joy through the spirit of
confirmation from Thy Kingdom and illumine my sight with seeing the
hosts of success following one another and descending upon me from
thine Omnipotence.

Thou art the Almighty, the Invincible, the Powerful!
