"O thou who art commemorating the Name of God!..."

O thou who art commemorating the Name of God!

Verily, I read thy interesting letter and my heart
was made happy by its beautiful contents.

O maid-servant of God! Rest assured in the bounty
of thy Lord and place thy confidence in Him, for He
will confirm thee in all aspects and under all conditions.

Know, verily, that the seed, however virile it may be,
however strong the hand of the sower, however pure
the water that watereth it, it is impossible for it to
grow, blossom and bear fruit in a short time; nay a
long period is needed for its development.

5 |
So is the Kingdom of God. Consider the seed which
was sown by Christ; verily, it did not blossom until
after a long period. Thus it is incumbent upon thee
to be patient in all affairs. Verily thy Lord is powerful,
forgiving, precious and persevering! Depend upon the
favor of thy LOrd. He shall bless thee and protect thee
under the shadow of His generosity and mercy.
