Lesson 359

If his love is really strong, he will love all men, for all are God's servants.

Excerpt

The fourth test is that he will love the Koran, which is the Word of God, and Muhammad, who is the Prophet of God; if his love is really strong, he will love all men, for all are God's servants, nay, his love will embrace the whole creation, for he who loves any one loves the works he composes and his handwriting.

Today, look at each person you meet, even the one who annoys you, as a work of God, and offer them a kindly look.
