God's will became His will, and God's pleasure, His pleasure; and with "radiant acquiescence" He declared:--"Verily I say: Whatever befalleth in the path of God is the beloved of the soul and the desire of the heart.

In the Writings of Baha'u'llah, the utterance frequently changes from one of these forms to another.
