They once lived like you.
A carpenter, a shepherd girl, a Vietnamese mother in prison. Then they became saints.

“I am a Christian, and I am ready to die for God! Even if I had to die a hundred thousand deaths, I would never deny my faith!”
Saint Lorenzo Ruiz (after a moment of wavering, taking back his question about being spared)Rev 2:10
There are times, in a trial beyond our strength, when the heart wavers and wants an easier way out, if only for a moment. Under savage torture, a husband and father had a moment of weakness and asked whether there was a way back. But right afterward he took the question back and stood firm to the end. A moment of weakness does not cancel a lifetime of faithfulness, as long as we get up again in time.
