My whole life I have always thought I was made to help people. When I help people, I feel like it's what I was born to do.
Somewhere along this week... I realized no one I've ever tried to help has really changed. They all just get worse and worse. And I am almost out of hope.
Not true. There have been countless times in my life. And this year you've been there for my biggest breaking/turning points bringing me reassurance and faith to trust.
ReplyDeleteLove you always. :)
Abigail! You have helped me in countless ways! One of the most powerful times was in Seattle at that last MS show... you told me a bit of your testimony and you told me that every day when you wake up, you have to hear Him say that He loves you. Hearing you tell me that has changed my life. I am a different person since that conversation, and here's what you need to know: you are the only person I could talk to at that moment. Because you were there, I am changed for the better. If you weren't there, I would still be in the same darkness I was at the beginning of that show. You help people, and they are changed for the better! I love you Abby, and I'm so grateful for you!
ReplyDeleteFalse...Jesus has used you to change me...in MC you were the first one to press me to be honest and real, and that has made more of a difference in me than you could ever know...you inspire wonder, love, desire, risk, and hope in me Abigail Suiter...there aren't many I can say that about :)
ReplyDeleteOh and by the way...I started writing that post before I saw this...you are on my mind and heart <3
ReplyDeleteHey lovely lady,
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way many times, but then I have to remind myself that just because you don't see a change, doesn't mean there isn't one. Sometimes just a person being present and truly caring gives someone this truly beautiful gift of feeling loved--love brings change, and sometimes it takes a long time. Humans like results, it's in our nature, but sometimes the hardest thing to do is keep on pressing on without seeing the progress--it's worth it though.
And for the record, I remember this young Abby writing to this girl e-mails and poems and inspiring this lonely girl who felt overwhelmed by emotion to keep on going. You were there for me and we had never actually met--how beautiful is that?
God uses you. It's a fact.

Abby, I KNOW God has used you in many ways to change people's lives. You gotta realize you're dealing with a lie. The enemy doesn't want you to see that you have helped people. You have made a huge impact on my life. Don't give up, Abby! It's never worth it to give up. There is always hope! I love you so much. Call if you ever want to talk.
