The more I had to act like a saint, the more I felt like being a sinner.

We were old sinners - but when we came to Christ we are not sinners anymore.

Personally, I like to start my day off as a Saint and graduate to my Sinner self!

I find that we are all such sinners that it is better to leave the judging to God.
