"He is God!..."
He is God!
O Lord, my God, my Well-Beloved! These are servants of Thine that have
heard Thy Voice, given ear to Thy Word and hearkened to Thy Call. They
have believed in Thee, witnessed Thy wonders, acknowledged Thy proof and
testified to Thine evidence. They have walked in Thy ways, followed Thy
guidance, discovered Thy mysteries, comprehended the secrets of Thy Book,
the verses of Thy Scrolls and the tidings of Thy Epistles and Tablets.
They have clung to the hem of Thy garment and held fast unto the robe of
Thy light and grandeur. Their footsteps have been strengthened in Thy
Covenant and their hearts made firm in Thy Testament. Lord! Do Thou kindle
in their hearts the flame of Thy divine attraction and grant that the bird
of love and understanding may sing within their hearts. Grant that they
may be even as potent signs, resplendent standards, and perfect as Thy
Word. Exalt by them Thy Cause, unfurl Thy banners and publish far and wide
Thy wonders. Make by them Thy Word triumphant, and strengthen the loins of
Thy loved ones. Unloose their tongues to laud Thy Name, and inspire them
to do Thy holy will and pleasure.
