Listen To Letter

Dear Mary,

            I remember the days when I would ask myself, “What is true happiness?” I would feel perplexed when I looked in the mirror and would see myself smiling, yet inside of me there would be a deep void. The laughter that would fill the room when I spent time with family and friends was all an act. At that point, I realized something deeper was calling me. The search for true happiness started when I asked myself, what do I seek in this life? The answer was not obvious at first. In fact, it took a good three to four years of learning and spiritual growth for me to understand that in this life, I do not want to do the traditional thing. I do not want to start a family of my own, and to seek the obvious things like a big house, and a car, and a traditional job. I knew my journey was different. I knew that when I looked inside of my being, I wanted a deep spiritual experience, that would lead me to discovering the greatest power that one could attain, faith. True faith in my heavenly father.

            Before my journey commenced, I was very much a devotee of the great lord. I felt something magical inside of me whenever I would pray. However, my faith would often waiver. Not having solid proof of his existence, and not being able to physically see God, I now realize were trials in life.  The years following my graduation from university, were unique to say the least. I felt a kind of relief in life that I had never felt before. It wasn’t that anything changed in my physical life. In fact, there was a lot of uncertainty where my employment was concerned, and I was experiencing heightened anxiety. However, at that precise moment, it felt like God was calling out to me. His cry is not like any other. In fact, his cry is a silent calling, a gentle whisper in your ears, if you will. When I first felt the divine whisper inside of me, for the first time in my life, I experienced serenity. There was a sudden peace inside of me, that made me feel like everything was going to be alright.

            When I felt the grace of God, in my heart I learned something. I learned that true happiness for me is unconditional love. Not only does being loved unconditionally make me happy, however, loving the world unconditionally, the way that God does, made me feel fulfilled. True happiness for me was loving the world wholeheartedly, seeing past the flaws of the world, and strengthening my bones by changing lives through the unconditional love inside of me. I knew in 2023 that I was destined to be of service to the world through the loving devotion of my time and energies. I know there is something great that my heavenly father wants me to do in this life. I know I will serve mankind with love one day, until then, I hope to share my world with the readers of Epistles of Enlightenment, in hopes that my story can change their lives for the better and help them make firm their faith.

To anyone reading this, may the lord be with you!

– Mary
