Dear Sean and Sam, 

 

He loves you. 

I love you. 

 

——————————————————-

You see here in Peru, our team was doing communion. And the song, Make you feel my love came on. (go listen to it) 

 

AND WOAH. 

 

Both of you were on my mind the entire time. 

 

The Lord said, “Suzanne, I haven’t given up on them. I love them, and I won’t give up.” 

 

My heart instantly was heavy. 

Heavy with questions, thoughts, and overwhelmed with the Lords love. 

——————————————————-

 

Before we were even a thought in Mom and Dads mind, the Lord knew, and loved us. 

 

He continues to chase us, regardless of what choice we’ve made in our mind. 

 

Does the Lord really exist? 

Does the Lord actually love me? 

Is this real? 

 

——————————————————-

 

You see, Sean and Sam, the Lord is completely in love with both of you. And he hasn’t given up on you either. 

 

How? 

Why? 

 

Because, he created you. 

YEAH. both of you. 

 

————————————————-

Sean, you are wise. You fight for what you believe in, you won’t give up, and you love with the biggest heart. 

 

Sam, ohhhh little sam. You have the most tender heart that loves deeply. You don’t expect things from others, and you make everything fun. 

 

Both of you show up for others and allow them to be seen, valued, heard, and loved. 

 

——————————————————-

 

 

You see, being your older sister is one of the best things in my life. I watched you guys grow up, I watched you fight, work together to bother me, and I watched both of you walk with the Lord at a young age. 

 

I watched the Lord move in your lives, whether you saw it or not. 

 

He cares for you. 

He loves you. 

He hasn’t given up. 

 

So why should you? 

What took you away from walking with the Creator? 

 

I’ve always wanted to ask you both this in person, but could never get the words out for the fear of rejection was always on my mind. 

 

I’m not writing this as a slap to the face, or to force you to believe. 

 

I am writing this out of love. 

 

As your sister, and both of your number one fans, I want you to know from the depths of my heart: He loves you. He hasn’t given up. He’s been there the entire time. 

 

I get it. There are deep hurts, and lies that are embedded within us. And those are hard to let go of. 

 

Yet. You were both called into something deeper. Into a life not lived for yourself, but a life with greater purpose. 

 

So. Ask yourself why. 

Why not? 

Why now? 

 

Maybe it’s not right away. 

Maybe this open letter makes you mad. 

And honestly, I hope it does stir something inside. 

You can be mad at me, but it won’t stop the love the Lord has for both of you, or my love for you.

Dear Sean and Sam, 

 

I love you. I have never left you. I will never leave you. 

 

-The Lord
