"Be not grieved..."

"As to thee, be not grieved at anything whatever. There is a right wisdom in whatever happens in this great Cause.

Be not grieved if the trash of the world is decreased in thy hands, for thy brilliant heart is a great treasury, inasmuch as every heart which trusts in the grace of its Lord is illumined through the lights of its Creator and it is one of the treasuries of the Kingdom, filled with the wealth of His divine world and heavenly bounties. This is a great wealth!"

~ Abdu'l-Baha, Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha v2, p. 293[/FONT]

Someone who was very close to me, at one time, died yesterday. This verse is comforting. Thank you.
