Posted this on the pinksufis site, but feel like pasting it everywhere! (reminds me of Raeesa's saying: 'we'll revise everything today!')

Your supplication is My message, dear,
And your striving to come close to Me
Is but a sign that I draw you to Me.
Your loving quest and pain:signs of My grace!
In each "O God!" a hundred "Here's My Face!"

(Mathnawi IV 189ff.)
Maulana Jallaluddin Rumi
