Tokens of God's Love

Tokens of God's Love:
To The Blessed Beauty

The tokens of God's love,
His greatest gifts to humanity,
are His Manifestations,
the Prophets He sends
in every age
to reveal his will
to humankind.

Each Messenger comes
when the human race is falling
into the pit of self-destruction
because of obedience
the its own selfish desires.

Each one has
a specific mission,
brings laws,
and Holy Writings
to carry us forward
until the next divine messenger
arrives,
with guidance for our maturing
race.

As a token of God's love
He has sent
         Abraham,
                   The Father of the Faithful;
         Krishna,
                   The Educator;
         Moses,
                   The Law Giver;
         Zoroaster,
                   The Pure;
         Buddha,
                   The Enlightened One;
         Christ,
                   The Son of God,
         Muhammad,
                   The Seal of the Prophets;
         The Bab,
                   The Gate,
         Baha'u'llah,
                   the Glory of God.
