A very beautiful quote by Abdu’l-Baha on the essence of happiness...something we all long for.
lyrics
If the heart turns away from the blessings God offers
how can it hope for happiness?
If it does not put its hope and trust in God’s Mercy,
Where can it find rest?
Oh, trust in God! for His Bounty is everlasting,
and in His Blessings, for they are superb.
Oh! Put your faith in the Almighty, for He faileth not (never),
and His goodness endureth forever! His Sun giveth Light continually,
And the Clouds of His Mercy are full of the Waters of Compassion with which He waters the hearts of all who trust in Him.
His refreshing Breeze ever carries healing in its wings to the parched souls of men!
Is it wise to turn away from such a loving Father?
