We are Bahá’ís
because we believe it is the Truth for this day, and not because of any hopes
we may have for an easier passage through this troubled world! Our tests often
come from each other; but for the sake of Bahá’u’lláh we must endure them
patiently and rise above them.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi
Effendi, 5 April 1950; published in compilation: ‘Fire and Gold: Benefiting
from Life’s Tests’, by Brian Kurzius)
