Efesios 6:1

Life is like a battle – it's tough and it often feels like we’re losing. But God wants us to walk in victory, because the battle’s already been won. Life is sometimes a fight; but if you’re a child of God, you’re fighting from a place of strength – you’re not weak, you're strong; not because of you but because of Jesus. Let’s fight like God wants us to fight!
