Verily, God has chosen you for His love and knowledge; God has chosen you for the worthy
service of unifying mankind; God has chosen you for the purpose of investigating reality and
promulgating international peace; God has chosen you for the progress and development of
humanity, for spreading and proclaiming true education, for the expression of love toward
your fellow creatures and the removal of prejudice; God has chosen you to blend together
human hearts and give light to the human world. The doors of His generosity are wide, wide
open to us; but we must be attentive, alert and mindful, occupied with service to all mankind,
appreciating the bestowals of God and ever conforming to His will.

Try with all your hearts to be willing channels for God’s Bounty. For I say unto you that He
has chosen you to be His messengers of love throughout the world, to be His bearers of
spiritual gifts to man, to be the means of spreading unity and concord on the earth. Thank
God with all your hearts that such a privilege has been given unto you. For a life devoted to
praise is not too long in which to thank God for such a favor.
