Before my wife Mirjam died in 2011, she asked that, in my tribute to her, I tell people how God had strengthened her for ministry. In our early years of
ministry, therefore, I had been overly conscientious, and she
overly anxious -- and very critical of my performance. But half way
through, it all changed, almost overnight. She came to
see ministry, not as something that a minister does, but as something
that God does through the minister, by His grace. This
turned her into a strength and support to be reckoned with -- not only for me, but for others, too. Too many Christians, she said, were
buckling under the burden of ministry because they did not understand these things.
