I liked your reference to the Oversoul which is something Emerson or Thoreau wrote about along time ago. That God recognizes the part free will plays in our life is also commendable. Best of all:
Allow yourself to do the work from within. Only you can do this work. Good luck in the contest.

Writing a letter to God is a wonderful way of speaking to him. When we write to him, we see what our mind tells us to write. It is a personal way of sending our thoughts and prayers to Him.

This has always been my goal, but somehow we get sidetracked in the way of the world today. It seems we always understand this so as we age and our lives slow down we have time to study on the path we have taken through the years. Well done,JLR. Nancy:)

Fantastic writing. If only we could all receive such a letter from God or anyone, telling us they believe and trust in us, but most of all, forgive us.

Your words were heartfelt and so genuine.

My favourite line was the one about releasing YOURSELF from all bonds that fetter, tie, limit bline etc. We all have to work on ourselves too. A very well made point.

I think FS did something strange to your author's notes, "intenti9nal". Easily remedied.

Thanks for the read, Jacqueline

You wrote a great contest entry, JLR. I enjoyed reading
it. I liked the formality of the way God replied. Everything
you asked Him was answered in a great way. I liked the
way He expressed His thoughts about your questions and
show of faith. Of course in the end, He gave you great advice
and told you again He loved you.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

If God sent us letters, this is exactly the type of letter we would want to get. God is letting you know you are already forgiven. All you have to do is forgive yourself. That information is inspiring and comforting. Bet wishes in the contest.

This letter from God, Dear Son, says the things we all hope god might say to us. We hold on to the past, which God has forgotten, and continue to hate ourselves for what has been forgiven.

This is poignantly beautiful - so filled with love and understanding with the care and tenderness that is ever there. That He is always forgiving is gold to treasure.

I could easily believe that is what God would put in a letter. Wouldn't it be nice to receive such a glorious thing? That He is always with us, we should all know that, but sometimes when things go so badly wrong, we don't. This is a great contest entry, and I wish you the very best of luck. :) Sandra xx

Nice work. Great sentiment.
"I want these words to be read with the eyes of your over-soul and felt imbedded within your great big compassionate heart." - I don't understand this sentence. What is an 'over-soul'?
fore -give yourself! - (forgive)
Best wishes.

    Hi Wayne , It is my perspective that in mind, body and soul we have imbedded within another spirit source, then over soul which is our direct co nextion to God. also. My intention with the use of fore-give, is that we forgiveness must occur in front ( fore) of being able to give forgiveness. Thanks always!
