For the first time she put mercy and justice together for me, in God. And I was stunned. It’s not all about having fun or knowing this God who is a grandfather. I had to wrestle with the fact that God is a judge and I was a sinner.

The more flawed we are the more we know how wonderful it is what the Lord has done for us and that he wants to walk beside us. Even though we are still flawed human beings, he gives us his presence. How remarkable is that?
