It is said that while Elizabeth Barrett Browning was in Italy for fifteen years, she wrote her parents letter after letter. They were very affectionate. She poured out her soul in tender affection to them, but for all those long years she never received a word in answer to her letters. At the end of fifteen years she received a large box from her parents. When she opened it, she found every letter she had written returned to her -- all unopened. Imagine the suffering of her heart all those years, only to learn that not one letter had ever been read.
But think of the wonderful letters our Father in heaven has written us, and how many just leave them unopened! How shamefully wicked!
