(iv) He wrote ‘To God’ on the envelope, put the letter inside and, still troubled, went to town.
(v) God could not have made a mistake, nor could he have denied Lencho what he had requested.
(vi) It said: “God: of the money that I asked for, only seventy pesos reached me. Send me the rest, since I need it very much.”

It is true hope and faith still exist in the society. Lencho is the perfect example of this saying. The story ‘A Letter to God’ by G.L. Fuentes highlights immense power in man’s innocent faith in God. It teaches us that if man has child-like faith in God, he can accomplish anything considered impossible. If with this faith man asks God for help, God responds, though through His own peculiar channels, and fulfills man’s any urgent legitimate desire.
In this story, Lencho has been portrayed as a deeply spiritual man. He had immense faith in God's goodness and generosity. After his crop was destroyed in a storm, he wrote a letter to God requesting Him to send him 100 pesos. His faith was rewarded. God helped him through the postmaster. Since the postmaster had only 70 pesos, he sent them all to maintain Lencho's faith in God. The innocent Lencho thanked God for his help; he also wrote another letter to God asking him to send 30 more pesos. He appealed to God to send the money through some other means, as he suspected the post office employees were crooks.
People like Lencho teach the entire mankind how to develop childlike faith in God.
