Saints
are people who are faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ… A faithful Christian life
exhibits ongoing and active faith. Faith
is tested by the tough stuff in life -- when the chips are down and the heat is
turned up. I read about an elderly
woman, badly crippled by arthritis, who was asked. "Do you suffer
much?" She pointed to her hand and
responded, "Yes, but there is no nail here. He had the nails, I have the
peace." She then pointed to her
head saying, "There are no thorns here.
He had the thorns, I have the peace." Finally, she touched her side and declared,
"There is no spear here. He had the
spear, I have the peace." This
faithful woman was a modern-day saint.
She understood the incredible gift of grace given to her by God, and she
was filled with "God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human
mind can understand" (Philippians 4:7, NLT).
