LIFE IS A BATTLE, AND WE ARE ALL SOLDIERS.
We may not wear a uniform, eat in a mess hall, or dodge actual bullets for a living, but we are in a war-a very crucial one. Just walk into any room of people and you'll find immeasurable pain and wounds. On the outside we wear our camouflage well, but on the inside, deep within our own souls, we realize life is conflict. It is traceable to a single source: Satan, the adversary of our souls.
