Congratulations on your win, Wendy. In reading your letter, I found much of myself in it. The line which hit me hardest was 'I expect more from them than they can give.' Forgiveness is hard, a daily, grinding task really. Sometimes, I think it's easier to walk away. Thank you for sharing your heart.

    Thank you very much Faith. It is definitely easier to walk away, and yes forgiveness is hard and ongoing, and often takes a long time, but during the process we do become more like our Saviour. Thank you so much for the lovely review and for the congratulations. Greatly valued.

This letter, Hand in Hand, tackles that seemingly most difficult requirement in walking with God: forgiveness of those who trespass against us. It is surprisingly tough.

    Yes, it is not easy. We tend to keep remembering the hurt. But He helps us over time to have a truly forgiving heart. Thank you

This is an absolutely beautiful night with that you've written to God. It comes off as being one that is very sincere about you believe in God and his care for you. And when you know that he cares for all of us. I wish you the very best in the contest. Patricia.

I certainly hope this beautiful letter to God wins because it's the best one I've read in this contest. Forgive my lack of a six too, for this is precious and sweet. Very sincere too, and has your depth in it each line.

Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes in the upcoming contest.

Love the childlike freshness and humility of this prayer. I especially like the references to Jesus, the prayer He taught, and the modeling of forgiveness. Best wishes in the contest!

This is a letter full of humility and truth, and it could be written by me. Forgiving others is not easy to do if one's loved ones are slighted, or one's pets. But our author points out the extreme forgiveness of His torturers, His mockers and those ill judging an innocent man. Beautifully written, good luck, blessings Roy

Yes, an interesting letter to God with thoughts on one of the most central beliefs of the christian Faith i.e forgiveness- so difficult for most of us and one sensitively approached here.

This is a very heartfelt letter to God, written simply and sincerely in conversational form in this very apt italic script. Your sentiments so fluently expressed are a joy to read. They are a credit to the fact that you're human and just want guidance in a world that challenges even the best of us. Well done and good luck! A strong contender, I think. Take care Debbie
