The Ornament of Honesty
July 12th, 2009
Beautify your tongues, O people, with truthfulness, and adorn your souls with the ornament of honesty.
~ Baha’u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u'llah, p. 297
In so many of the writings, the poetry of the words hits me just as hard as the message. The imagery of making one’s tongue more beautiful through adorning with an ornament of honesty is magical. I can almost picture little ornaments made of honesty and truthfulness that could be hung upon the soul.
