We think of saints as icons,
in some stained glass in a church
or sculpted as a statue in a nave.
But a saint is really anyone,
who loves like Jesus did,
while trusting in His sinless life to save.

Some say that saints are saintly,
almost perfect, without fault.
And some say you can’t be one ‘til you’ve died.
But what I read in Scripture
seems to counter what we’re told.
Imperfect as we are we’re saints alive!

* Note how The Epistle to the Ephesians begins:
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,
To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus… (Ephesians 1:1)
