Earth is Blessed

2 Asma 163 B.E. - August 21, 2006 A.D.


The Earth is Blessed, it may not seem so when you look at all that is going on and going wrong in the world today. However, the planet is blessed, blessed because the is not a single place on earth where one of God's names is not mentioned and known. Not a single nation or land where the words of one of God's Prophets has not been spoken. Not place where prayers are not intoned, whispered or thought.

Often times we look at the negative and think that is how life is, but life is not completely negative. Eventually these wars will cease and humanity will realize that it is one race with many colors. We look at the differences and fail to see the similarities between humans, nations, or religions. Focusing on the differences cause them to overshadow the similarities that exist. If the similarities are not obvious one must look for them and pray to see them.

The Earth is Blessed, not just one country or region, but the whole planet. Everything on earth has a reason for being here, a reason to exist. If we don't see the reason we must look for it. Since the Earth it Blessed, humanity is blessed, but to see the blessing we must look for it, expect the blessing to appear.

NOTE: Today I said "Blessed is the Spot," page i, in the Baha'i Prayer Book. This prayer was revealed by Baha'u'llah.
