Day 2950: The best gift I ever received was ______. Why?

The best gift I ever received
was the good news of Baha'u'llah,
because He is the Promised One
of all the sacred scriptures!

Baha'u'llah is ...

The Manifestation of God for today
The Return of the Spirit of Christ
The Day star of the universe
The Pen of the Most High
The Speaker on Sinai
The Blessed Beauty
The King of kings
The Fifth Buddha
The Most Great Name
The Return of Lord Krishna
The Founder of the Baha'i Faith
The Glory of God

Life didn't become easier when I declared my faith in Baha'u'llah, and my acceptance of the three onenesses: (1) the oneness of God, the oneness of religion, and (3) the oneness of humanity. Finding Baha'u'llah answered a number of questions that no one else, including my childhood Sunday school teachers could answer. It also generated more questions, which I can answer by turning to the writings of the Central Figures of the Baha'i Faith. Each revealed prayer and scripture I read helps me to become stronger in my faith and firmer in the Covenant of Baha'u'llah.
