When you choose to be faithful in something that is difficult, you are going to war.

When you stay when it would be easier to go, you are going to war.

When you turn up day-after-day, when you could simply not show up, you are going to war.

When you press in once again and squeeze that last ounce of creative energy out of your soul, when you could watch Netflix instead, you are going to war.

Faithfulness, perseverance, vulnerability, honesty, these are all acts of spiritual warfare.

If whatever you're doing right now feels like it's sucking the life out of you in a profound way, then I want you to consider that there is a battle raging beneath the surface. When you show up each and every day you are going to war and that's why it's so exhausting.

There is nothing wrong with you.

There is nothing wrong with you.

There is nothing wrong with you.

You're exhausted because of the battle.
