“When your heart is filled with the love of God there will be no room for sorrow.”

He [‘Abdu’l-Baha] asked me about myself, if I were well and if I were happy. I replied to thr latter question: “I have had many sorrows.” “Forget them!” he answered. “When your heart is filled with the love of God there will be no room for sorrow. There will only be love and happiness.” I can not tell you the sweet sympathy of his voice as he said these beautiful and comforting words.
