Created noble, to arise
O Son of Spirit! Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou wast created. ~ Bahá’u’lláh
“Noble have I created thee” does not mean some of us, or most of us. Or everyone except me — but all of us.
Each of us is the only person capable of investigating and discovering our unique identity and purpose.
How “honour and nobility” manifest themselves in us — each a unique creation of God — is a one-of-a-kind and wondrous journey.
What gradually helps the spiritual nature to become the decision-maker in our lives?
Are we ready to embrace the truth that our own truest and deepest reality, that for which we were created, is a presence and power in whose light fear and the trappings of mere survival disappear like shadows?
