"I viewed my own father quite differently at that point, realising that like me, he has a problem with sin and yes he had done wrong but he is blind by his sin and it doesn’t excuse his behaviour, but there is a sense in which I can’t stand in judgment of him. That is God’s work to do because he is blinded by sin like I was and needs a saviour just like I did."
"But there is a sense in which multi-generational meetings are just so helpful because you don’t just need the women who is going through what you’re going through."
"I think for me, it’s the daily exercise of getting up and reminding myself that the gospel is true and that one day as God promises in his word, Jesus will come back. And I don’t know if that will be tomorrow or if that will be in 50 years time. But I do know that I’m called now to live in the light of that and to live as if it may be today, that I will meet Jesus. None of us really, we don’t know when we’ll meet Jesus, but we are called to live as if today will be the day."
