Awaken
I [Juliet Thompson] had two more private talks with our Lord that morning. In the second, something I said brought forth this answer: "The child does not realize the parents' love, but when it becomes mature it knows." He said this looking out of the window and His face was very sad. "Can the creature," I asked, "ever know the Love of the Creator?""Yes. If not in this world, then in the next, as a sleeper wakens."

Quote of the Day
Istijlal 2 Ilm 182 B.E.
A promise of confidentiality given under duress is not binding, as it is a common tactic used by abusers to conceal misconduct. It is all the more reason to seek professional assistance and civil protection and to report the matter to Bahá’í institutions.
