Do not be content with showing friendship in words

Do not be content with showing friendship in words alone, let your heart burn with loving kindness for all who may cross your path... Let it be seen that you are filled with universal love. When you meet a ... stranger, speak to him as to a friend; if he seems to be lonely try to help him, give him of your willing service; if he be sad console him, if poor succor him, if oppressed rescue him, if in misery comfort him. In so doing you will manifest that not in words only, but in deed and in truth, you think of all men as your brothers. - #AbdulBaha #Bahai #Spirituality #Humanity #Love

Baha’is all around the world will celebrate for the next twelve days the “King of Festivals,” the holiest days of the Baha’i year – the beautiful season of Ridvan. 🌹 The Baha’i Faith began on a beautiful, rose-filled island called the Garden of Ridvan (pronounced rez-vahn), which means paradise. That fragrant, birdsong-filled garden witnessed the birth of the world’s newest independent religion on this day in April of 1863. «It is a day of joy, a time of happiness, a period of spiritual growth.» – #AbdulBaha To lean more about the Festival of Ridvan, visit Bahaiteachings.org 🔗 #Bahai #Spirituality #Ridvan #BahaiFatih
