Supplication of Love

Lord, the night is gone. The dawn has lighted the sky. How I long to know if You accepted or rejected my prayers. Comfort me, Lord, for only you can comfort this state of mine. You gave me life and nurtured me; Yours is all the praise. If You would ever drive me away from Your door, I would never abandon it for the sake of Your love, which I carry in my heart.

- Rabi'a, "Rabi'a the Mystic"

    This is my first visit to your blog. But I think I'll make it a habit.
