I think the most haunting photo from this group is the one that accompanies "In The Morning You Will Be Shot". The total look of shock, knowing what is in store for them, and the innocence of the little girl who has no idea of what is ahead is haunting. The photo conveys a thousand words. The accompanying article is excellent, but it is the photo that says so much.

Be thou not unhappy; the tempest of sorrow shall pass; regret will not last; disappointment will vanish; the fire of the love of God will become enkindled, and the thorns and briars of sadness and despondency will be consumed! Be thou happy; rest thou assured upon the favors of ...[God], so that uncertainty and hesitation may become non-existent and the invisible outpourings descend upon the arena of being! – ‘Abdu’l-Bahá #Bahai #Hope #LoveofGod

In this world we are influenced by two sentiments,

In this world we are influenced by two sentiments, Joy and Pain. Joy gives us wings! In times of joy our strength is more vital, our intellect keener, and our understanding less clouded. We seem better able to cope with the world and to find our sphere of usefulness. But when sadness visits us we become weak, our strength leaves us, our comprehension is dim and our intelligence veiled. The actualities of life seem to elude our grasp, the eyes of our spirits fail to discover the sacred mysteries, and we become even as dead beings. There is no human being untouched by these two influences; but all the sorrow and the grief that exist come from the world of matter—the spiritual world bestows only the joy! - #AbdulBaha #Bahai #Spirituality #Joy #Happiness

Never lose thy trust in God. Be thou ever hopeful, for the bounties of God never cease to flow upon man. If viewed from one perspective they seem to decrease, but from another they are full and complete. Man is under all conditions immersed in a sea of God’s blessings. Therefore, be thou not hopeless under any circumstances, but rather be firm in thy hope. - #AbdulBaha #bahai #spirituality #trustgod #confidence confidentheart
