We Don't Need Another Saint

Our world does not need another saint, but it needs you.

Unfortunately, we find notable examples of modern leaders in every field who give low priority to personal integrity. But we do not need saints, friend, we just need people like you.

-People who will be known for their integrity.

-People who will determine to be their best selves.

-People who daily earn the trust and respect of others, regardless of their age or station in life.

-People who insist on the importance of character. 

Perfection is an example or instance of being perfect: somebody or something that reaches the highest attainable standard, or an instance of this We all want to be perfect, but there has been only one perfect man that I am aware of so far. We strive for excellence and spiritual perfection according to the Word of God, yet often fall very short of the mark. So to put it bluntly we just need people who will try their best to be their best at all times and in every venture. That's all God expects and all that we can expect as well.

Let this be you motto: "I will do my best to be my best in ways of integrity and character and do all I can to represent God in the best way possible to a lost and dying world."

You may not be a saint, but friend, if you do your best to be the best you that you can be it will be enough.
