Gratitude List and thoughts

Jalál (Glory), 15 ‘Izzat (Might) 175 B.E. - Saturday, September 22, 2018

"There is nothing greater or more blessed than the Love of God! It gives healing to the sick, balm to the wounded, joy and consolation to the whole world, and through it alone can man attain Life Everlasting. The essence of all religions is the Love of God, and it is the foundation of all the sacred teachings."

'Abdu'l-Baha12

Bah'u'llah has brought a new vision to me. It is the ability to see humanity as a single species, and each religion as chapters in the book of God. Baha'u'llah, and the other Divine Messengers, were sent to humanity because God loves us. It is through God's love for us, and our love for God, that peace and unity will spread across the Earth.

The Present3

The world is changing,
moving toward the peace
promised in the sacred scriptures.
