As we approach the Year of Mercy, I often reflect on how the biggest part of God’s heart is his mercy and how that same mercy has changed my life.
I was born in the East End of London. When I was 10 my parents told me to choose which one of them I wanted to live with as they were getting divorced. Looking back, I think this led me to make a decision inside not to love again. The people you love just crush you, I thought.
Yet by the time I was 27, I had everything that the world says you need to be happy. I had a penthouse flat, sports cars and more money than I could spend.
