The Saints

We are inspired by the wise, the loving, the serving, the selfless, and the faithful. We sit alongside them, listen to their lectures, read their words and sing their songs.

Many have come and gone, and are yet to come, who have shaped the faith and lived accordingly. Saints come in various shapes and sizes, tongues and tribes, natures and places. All proclaim a common name. We are blessed to know the saints. We are encouraged and spurred to remain faithful.

We can never choose to be a saint. We can only trust and obey. We can only serve and love.

The saints teach us and motivate us, even after they have left us. We are not changed by the saints though. We are changed by love, grace, and holiness, the nature of God, as our hearts are molded by the Potter. May we always serve the One whom the saints have served and leave a legacy of His name.
