Every saint has a past



I pray you’ll be disappointed in people— and realize that we’re all fallible, sinful, and redeemable.

Mentorship; it is vital for our walk with Christ.  Please reach out and find a mentor.  If you have a love for your mentor, find someone to mentor yourself because you know firsthand how good it is!  We sheep need someone to encourage us to give our best in discipleship.  We need to remember that magic word; Grace.  How we all are human and we all sin and it is the enemy that is on the prowl, not us.  "Oscar Wilde said, “Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.”  I love that. When we recognize that all the “saints” we’ve placed on pedestals struggled to get to that place of honor— and likely struggle to maintain their virtue— and when we look at our fellow sinners with the view that they’re saints in training, just like us  …   we begin to spend less time wallowing in disappointment and despair, and more time awash in God’s love. 
Grace. Peace. Forgiveness. Hope. Vision."
