Verse of the Day – 30 Nov

image

Take heed lest anything deter  thee from extolling  the  greatness  of  this Day - the Day whereon the Finger of majesty and power hath opened the seal of the Wine of Reunion, and called all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth. Preferrest thou to tarry when the breeze announcing the Day of God hath already breathed over thee…?

- Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 27

Verse of the Day – 30 Nov

O My friend, listen with heart and soul to the songs of the spirit, and treasure them as thine own eyes. For the heavenly wisdoms, like the clouds of spring, will not rain down on the earth of men's hearts forever; and though the grace of the All-Bounteous One is never stilled and never ceasing, yet to each time and era a portion is allotted and a bounty set apart, this in a given measure. "And no one thing is there, but with Us are its storehouses; and We send it not down but in settled measure."

- Baha'u'llah, The Seven Valleys, p. 37
