Hand Of The King Of Kings

"The earth is in motion and growth; the mountains, hills and prairies are green and pleasant; the bounty is overflowing; the mercy universal; the rain is descending from the cloud of mercy; the brilliant Sun is shining; the full moon is ornamenting the horizon of ether; the great ocean-tide is flooding every little stream; the gifts are successive; the favors consecutive; and the refreshing breeze is blowing, wafting the fragrant perfume of the blossoms. Boundless treasure is in the hand of the King of Kings! Lift the hem of thy garment in order to receive it."

(Abdu'l-Baha, Baha'i World Faith - Abdu'l-Baha Section, p. 351)

The Iron Hot Path

The Iron Hot Path

Straight is the kingdom road
For all those that know
The joy the heart sings
When pleasing the King of Kings.
For His gift never decreases
Enjoying the fruit
That He releases
To those that follow His command.
Never demanding the coldness
But desiring the boldness
To follow the iron hot path
And allowing the people
To feel your warmth
With your love for all
And not the wishes for them to fall.
But to encourage their growth
So they may have both
That of the spirit
With the abundant treasures
That work through our endeavors.
