‍LET’S THINK PEACE

‍“When a thought of war comes, oppose it by a stronger thought of peace.”

‍

‍ — Bahá’í Writings

‍I charge you all that each one of you concentrate all the thoughts of your heart on love and unity. When a thought of war comes, oppose it by a stronger thought of peace. A thought of hatred must be destroyed by a more powerful thought of love. Thoughts of war bring destruction to all harmony, well-being, restfulness and content.

‍

‍Thoughts of love are constructive of brotherhood, peace, friendship, and happiness.

‍

‍When soldiers of the world draw their swords to kill, soldiers of God clasp each other’s hands! … Do not think the peace of the world an ideal impossible to attain!

‍

‍Nothing is impossible to the Divine Benevolence of God. If you desire with all your heart, friendship with every race on earth, your thought, spiritual and positive, will spread; it will become the desire of others, growing stronger and stronger, until it reaches the minds of all men. …

‍

‍Sincerity and love will conquer hate. How many seemingly impossible events are coming to pass in these days! Set your faces steadily towards the Light of the World. Show love to all; “Love is the breath of the Holy Spirit in the heart of Man.” Take courage! God never forsakes His children who strive and work and pray! Let your hearts be filled with the strenuous desire that tranquility and harmony may encircle all this warring world. So will success crown your efforts, and with the universal brotherhood will come the Kingdom of God in peace and goodwill.
