This is a paragraph from a little essay I was reading. My concern is the last sentence.

Dorothy, your eyes see deep down, important things. Your ears hear silent things, your world is set to music. Oh, if God left something out of you, it was only to fill it with himself.

My question:

What do(es) the red and the green it refer to respectively?



Thanks in advance!

The red it = The reason he left it out.

The blue it= the vessel of a persons being or character.

Yes.


God only left something out of the girl so there was space for him to be inside her.

Tempting it is. Perhaps Slappy will come along shortly.

Thanks for the beautiful interpretations!

In that little story, Dorothy is a girl who can't communicate normally with poeple. In fact, before her special teacher came to her house, that was when she was eight years old, she couldn't talk and seemed couldn't listen to poeple's talk. ...Finally, her special teacher taught her to sing to communicate. Yes, since a very special day, she can sing songs to express herself though can't talk normally. And she can draw pictures.....That is Dorothy and her teacher's story.

It seems like a real story, titled "A New Day For Dorothy" by Frances E. Leslie, in the book named "Chicken Soup for the Unsinkale soul" --a lot of instructive and lovely stories in it.

In light of new information, I think that the "tempting" has vanished, as well it should.
