A letter to someone who doesn't believe (free template)

Free template

Writing to someone who doesn't believe what you believe is hard: you don't want it to read as a lecture, and you don't want to leave it unsaid. This template keeps it honest and personal. Copy it, make it yours, and change anything that isn't true for you.

The template

Yours to copy and change. The blanks (___) are for you to fill in.

My dear ___, If you're reading this, it means I'm no longer with you — and I couldn't leave without telling you the one thing I never said plainly enough. I believed. Not out of fear, and not because I needed a crutch, but because I came to trust that Jesus is who he said he is. We didn't always see this the same way, and I'm sorry for the times I turned it into an argument instead of a conversation. I'm not writing to win. I'm writing because I love you, and I would rather you sigh at one more letter than never hear this at all: there is more to all of it than we can see, and the door is not closed to you. Please don't carry guilt over anything left unsaid between us. There is nothing to forgive. I only want you to know that you were loved — by me, and by God — every single day. With all my love, ___

What happens next

You write it now and we hold it. Nothing is sent while you’re here to send it — it’s only delivered to the people you name if the day comes that you’re gone. Read how it works for the honest version, including what this does and doesn’t promise.

If you’d rather read about writing this kind of letter before you start, see our guide.
