Bear
Our Cause is sorely trying, highly perplexing; none can bear it except a favorite of heaven, or an inspired Prophet, or he whose faith God hath tested.
- Bahá’u’lláh, The Kitab-i-Iqan, p. 82
Thou wert created to bear and endure, O Patience of the worlds.
- Bahá’u’lláh, The Fire Tablet, Bahá’í Prayers, p. 317
Obedience to the Laws of Bahá’u’lláh will necessarily impose hardships in individual cases. No one should expect, upon becoming a Bahá’í, that faith will not be tested, and to our finite understanding of such matters these tests may occasionally seem unbearable.

Kamal 10 Baha 183 B.E.
A harsh word is like unto a sword, but gentle speech is like unto milk. The children of the world attain to knowledge and better themselves through this.
