“93: O ye dear children!...”
O ye dear children!
Your father is compassionate, clement and merciful unto you and desireth for you success, prosperity and eternal life in the Kingdom of God. Therefore, it is incumbent upon you, dear children, to seek his good pleasure, to be guided by his guidance, to be drawn by the magnet of the love of God and be brought up in the lap of the love of God; that ye may become beautiful branches in the Gardens of EL-ABHÁ, verdant and watered by the abundance of the gift of God.
(“Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá”, Vol. III, p. 622) [93]
“94: It is incumbent upon the youth to walk in the footsteps of Hakím...”
It is incumbent upon the youth to walk in the footsteps of Hakím[19] to be trained in his ways, for such important souls as he and his like have now ascended to the Kingdom of Abhá. The youth must grow and develop and take the place of their fathers, that this abundant grace, in the posterity of each one of the loved ones of God who bore great agonies, may day by day increase, until in the end it shall yield its fruit on earth and in Heaven.
(From a Tablet—translated from the Persian) [94]
