Esther so badly wanted to save her father, to bring him back from the half death that had become his life. Every time he reminded her that he couldn’t be saved, Esther’s heart broke a little more.

About This Quote

When you are trying to save someone, they will remind you that nothing can be done. They will say that they are beyond being saved. They will say there is nothing left to do. But, if you have faith, if you have the faith of a child, this is what you do.

You believe in the person who needs to be saved. You believe in the fact that something can be done to bring them back. You believe that someone can change their life for the better.

You believe that they are worth saving, no matter what they have done or said before. So you persist in your belief, and you keep fighting for them to be saved.
