If the friends always waited until they were fully qualified
to do any particular task, the work of the Cause would be almost at a
standstill! But the very act of striving to serve, however unworthy one may
feel, attracts the blessings of God and enables one to become more fitted for
the task.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 4 May 1942 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi
to an individual believer; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, The Power
of Divine Assistance)
