It is common knowledge that over the last year you have received thousands of letters just like mine and I do not expect mine to be accepted any differently. I am keenly aware that my letter may be tossed into the stack and that I should expect to receive the same short and generic response that so many others have also received. I have a full understanding that you do not know my face, you do not know my heart and you do not know my spirit. You do not know the wild force I can be for what I believe to be true and you will never know how that force could have been beneficial to your church. I am fiercely passionate about the truths of my heart and the strength I have within could have helped elevate the work that you so often speak of. However, it has become clear to me, as it has to so many others, that you have turned your back on the many that are hurting right now over the new church policy. People believe this act to be the church’s way of separating the wheat from the tares but I see it more as you having cut off your right hand in order to “save” your left. Well, I am your right hand. Every one of us whom you have lost is your right hand and you will never again be whole without us.
I know these words are futile, as I know they most likely fall on deaf ears. I also know that I am quite possibly not even a name to you. I may be no more than a number that you can so conveniently delete from your system and forget ever existed. But I do exist and I do matter.
The power of my words will never be enough to convince you to turn back and heal the wounded you have left for dead. However, I pray to the Heavenly Father I believe in, the Father I was taught about since I was a child in primary, the Heavenly Father who loves ALL His children, with a Son who hearkened ALL the children to come unto Him and I pray that he won’t turn His back on you. I pray that He will some day soften your heart and will make you as children who so naturally love as only Christ can love. Until that day, I must stand behind these words that I write and say, here am I; resign me.
