I have been getting a little extremely past due spring cleaning done and happened across some Writings I used to have hanging on my wall at my old house. I printed out these Writings so I could read them often. This is one of a few others that I will post here soon. 
Do not take into consideration your own aptitudes and capacities, but fix your gaze on the consummate bounty, the divine bestowal and the power of the Holy Spirit — the power that converteth the drop into a sea and the star into a sun.
Peter was a fisherman and Mary Magdalene a peasant, but as they were specially favoured with the blessings of Christ, the horizon of their faith became illumined, and down to the present day they are shining from the horizon of everlasting glory. In this station, merit and capacity are not to be considered; nay rather, the resplendent rays of the Sun of Truth, which have illumined these mirrors, must be taken into account.
(Abdu’l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha, p. 104)
