"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" -Eph 6:12 (KJV)
Life was never meant to be easy, for we lie in the midst of a holy battle
Therefore, remember this. No matter the past, no matter your circumstances, never lose faith, for you are redeemed
There is yet much potential withheld within yourself, thus take up your sword and fight!
