Thankful Thursday Thoughts and Gratitude List

Istijlál (Majesty), 13 ‘Izzat (Might) 175 B.E. - Thursday, September 20, 2018

“All down the ages the prophets of God have been sent into the world to serve the cause of truth -- Moses brought the law of truth, and all the prophets of Israel after him sought to spread it. When Jesus came He lighted the flaming torch of truth, and carried it aloft so that the whole world might be illumined thereby. After Him came His chosen apostles, and they went far and wide, carrying the light of their Master's teaching into a dark world -- and, in their turn, passed on. Then came Muhammad, who in His time and way spread the knowledge of truth among a savage people; for this has always been the mission of God's elect. So, at last, when Bahá'u'lláh arose in Persia, this was His most ardent desire, to rekindle the waning light of truth in all lands.”

'Abdu'l-Bahá1

Inhale the fragrance
of truth from God's Chosen Ones
who came to spread light's knowledge
across the planet.
