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.

Quote of the Day
Idal 1 Qudrat 183 B.E.
Adorn your heads with the garlands of trustworthinessand fidelity, your hearts with the attire of the fear of God, your tongues with absolute truthfulness, your bodies with the vesture of courtesy. These are in truth seemly adornings unto the temple of man, if ye be of them that reflect.
Bahá’u’lláh – The Kitáb-i-Aqdas, p. 62
