"O thou dear maid-servant of God!..."

1 |
O thou dear maid-servant of God!
|
2 |
Thy letter was read and I am very happy that thou
art active and full of life through the spirit of Life and
that thou art firm and steadfast in this great Cause.

To enter the Kingdom is easy, but to remain firm and
constant is difficult. The planting of trees is easy, but
their cultivation and training to strengthen their roots
and to make them firm is difficult. Now, as thou art a
firm tree, thou shalt certainly grow and send out
branches, leaves and blossoms and bear fruits.
|
4 |
These branches, leaves, blossoms and fruits are the
souls who may be guided, through the providence of
God, by thee. Therefore, thou art confirmed and
strengthened.

Some of the friends intended to visit the Holy Land,
but hindrances prevented them and they have deferred
their coming. You should also remain with your
mother and serve her until a suitable time arrives.

Give my greetings and praise to my spiritual friend
[thy husband] and gladden him with the joyful tidings
of God; also, give the same to the friends of God and
His maid-servants.
