Comment from Debbie D'Arcy

Excellent

This is an excellently expressed and sincere write inspired by faith. Your devotion flows beautifully through the lines and I love that message of not knowing exactly where you will be guided. It reminds me of a certain poet called Robert Frost who wrote: "I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering." Good luck in the contest! Debbie

It's a goodie isn't it? And I must admit I never know exactly where my poems are going to end but they do seem to surprise me:)

John, it is so beautiful to see a godly man write on of these letters to God. I'm so tired of the others that seem to come into these contests. Yours is sweet and sincere and God-honoring. Refreshing in this world and on this site.

Sending you my best today as always, and best wishes for the upcoming contest. A winner in my eyes.

Thank you, Sister Sally. I agree with you. I think sometimes we forget Who's in charge and whose plan is unfolding in the world. We can be a part of that plan if we surrender to Him and allow Him to do His work through us. Or, we can just wring our hands and complain about the injustice of it all. I think He tells us to never seek justice in this world; but never fail to give it. We can take heart in knowing hour His plan ends for us. Praise God! I appreciate your sweet review. God Bless!

What a beautiful letter to God, and I could have written those exact words myself - that's how closely I identify with your thoughts, words and prayer. Best wishes for your heartfelt entry in the contest.

Thank you, Wendy. I think there are many kindred spirits on this website, and they're not here by coincidence. Go works in wonderful but mysterious ways. I appreciate your kind words and friendship. God bless. John

Hello John,
thanks for sharing this letter to God. There are many on this site who I find are exceptionally gifted. It's interesting to see the many ways the Lord uses the various authors to speak about a myriad of topics. Since God is the creator of all things, there seems to be unlimited subjects to write about. His wisdom comes through in so many ways here.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Hi Tom,
I don't think I could put it any better than you just did in your review. We think we know what God wants, and then he lets us know we don't have a clue. All He wants is for us to turn everything over to Him and watch in awe and amazement. We serve a wise and wonderful God. Thank you for your most insightful review. God bless.
John

Oh yes, my motivation when God mercifully called me to the light, was following someone who had succeeded in being selfless and caring, grocious and loving, who offered acceptance and equality in a calling most noble, and equips us with the loving, gracious Holy Spirit to help us, beautifully written John, blessings Roy

Thank you, Roy. We can never take credit for the work we do for God since it's not us who does it. We can only allow Him to do His work through us. The glory and praise always goes to Him, as well it should. I appreciate your insightful comments, my friend. Blessings to you. John
