I recently came across some amazing spiritual truths which were contained in letters children wrote to both to their Pastor and to God.
Their thoughts were, as one would expect from a child of tender years, articulated in an innocent and child-like way, but displayed an amazing understanding of who God is. There was humour in their insight while other asked some deep and searching questions.
I hope like me you will amused, amazed and encouraged by these utterances from the mind of a child.

First of all letters from children written to their Pastors.

Dear Pastor, I know God loves everybody but He’s never met my sister.
Yours sincerely, Arnold. Age 8.

Dear Pastor, Please say in your sermon that Peter Peterson has been a good boy all week. I am Peter Peterson.

Dear Pastor, My father should be a minister. Every day he gives us a sermon about something.
Robert Anderson age 11.

Dear Pastor, I'm sorry I can't leave more money in the plate, but my father didn't give me a rise in my pocket money. Could you have a sermon about a rise in pocket money?
Love, Patty. Age 10.

Dear Pastor, My mother is very religious. She goes to play bingo at church every week even if she has a cold.
Yours truly, Annette. Age 9.

Dear Pastor, I would like to go to heaven someday because I know my brother won't be there.

Dear Pastor, I think a lot more people would come to your church if you moved it to Disneyland.

Dear Pastor, My father says I should learn the Ten Commandments. But I don't think I want to because we have enough rules already in my house.

Dear Pastor, How does God know the good people from the bad people? Do you tell Him or does He read about it in the newspapers?
Sincerely, Marie. Age 9

Now a selection of Children's Letters to God.

Dear God,
I bet it is very hard for You to love all of everybody in the whole world.
There are only 4 people in our family and I can never do it.
Nan

Dear God,
Is it true my father won’t get in Heaven if he uses his angry words in the house?
Anita

Dear God,
Did you mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident?
Norma

Dear God,
Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don’t You just keep the ones You have now? 
Jane

Dear God,
I went to this wedding and they kissed right in church. Is that okay?
Neil

Dear God,
What does it mean You are a Jealous God?  I thought You had everything.
Jane

Dear God,
Did you really mean “do unto others as they do unto you?” Because if you did, then I’m going to fix my brother.
Darla

Dear God,
Thank you for the baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy.

Dear God,
It rained for our whole holiday and is my father mad! He said some things about You that people are not supposed to say, but I hope You will not hurt him anyway.
Your friend (But I am not going to tell you who I am)

Why is Sunday school on Sunday? I thought it was supposed to be our day of rest.

I think about You sometimes even when I’m not praying.

I would like to live 900 years like the guy in the Bible.

We read Thomas Edison made light. But in school they said You did it. So I bet he stole your idea.
Sincerely,
Donna

Dear God,
I do not think anybody could be a better GOD. Well, I just want You to know that I am not just saying that because You are GOD already.

Dear God,
I didn’t think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset you made on Tuesday. That was cool!
Eugene

Dear God,
If we come back as something please don’t let me be Jennifer Horton because I hate her.

Perhaps we will now have a little more respect for the ‘pearls of wisdom’ that are so often uttered with both naivety and honesty by our younger generation.
