Women share stories of Eternity at OneLove

OneLove 2017 featured Bible talks and testimonies centred around the theme 'For Eternity'. Be inspired by the faith of three ordinary Australian women who in spite of momentary troubles, have placed their hope in the promises of Eternity:  

Jenny

Jenny was just a teenager when she lost her mother to breast cancer. It was in her grief that her journey into discovering God's eternal purposes in suffering began. After battling her own breast cancer and the death of her grandchild, Jenny shares how she has learned to trust that life in Eternity is better by far: 

"We have a living hope in a risen Christ who has gone before us into his eternal kingdom. A hope that carried my mother Judith through the cruel pains of death, and a hope that sustained our family facing the shocking loss of little Layla Judith Grace. A hope that makes all the difference in this world and the next."

Sozon

​Despite accepting Christ at the age of three, Sozon spent the first half of her life living in active rebellion against him. After struggling with the guilt of an abortion, Sozon found lasting healing in her God of unfailing love: 

"This ongoing realisation that God cannot love me any more and he cannot love me any less. His love is free and it's undeserved...While the walls came down and I started living again, I started living as a person set free...Every single day I have to keep hearing, reminding and believing that it is by grace that I have been saved."

Justine

Despite growing up in a Christian home, Justine struggled to believe that Jesus could bring her joy and happiness. When she was sixteen, Justine walked away from the faith and found herself struggling with anxiety, anorexia, drug and alcohol abuse. Everything changed when she signed up to run a marathon for the persecuted church in Lebanon:

​"Happiness cannot be found in yourself. It can't be found in anything the world has to offer and it definitely cannot be a subject of your circumstances. True happiness can only be found in Jesus. Meeting with Christians who have lost everything for their faith, but still have so much joy and so much to live for has changed my whole life."
