O Thou Whose Heart Is Filled with the Love of God!
'Abdu'l-Bahá, Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá Abbas, (1909) · Read original
When in Bahá'í history
O thou whose heart is filled with the Love of God!
I was informed of thy longing for meeting (me) and that thy breast is boiling with the love of God. Blessed are thou for this wish.
O maid-servant of God! Beseech thou God to be filled with His love and make thy tongue fluent with the glorification of God.
Verily, I supplicate God to forgive thy father and to submerge him in the sea of forgiveness and pardon.
Be not grieved at the death of that infant child, for it is placed in trust for thee before thy Lord in His great Kingdom.
Verily God will bestow upon thee that whereby thy heart shall be rejoiced and thy breast shall be dilated. Verily thy Lord is compassionate and merciful!
