This war is a constant balancing act between maintaining your own inner resources (and not getting dangerously depleted) and performing in the world (fighting the good fight). In a way this is absolutely ordinary, but the divergence of social realities means it is extremely difficult in practise. We face abysmal behaviour by many who are close to us, and have to spend enormous energy staying engaged in non-optional but draining relationships and situations. Our coping strategies have costs that come due, and responsibilities we kick down the road insistently return. I find a numbness creeping over me as the emotional battering takes a toll. Nonetheless, an unceasing vision of victory and a better future motivates a return to form no matter how far I feel I have fallen. There is always just enough progress to sustain hope and prevent sinking into self-pity. The shoots of freedom are breaking above the ground; our hard work promises a harvest of justice, hungry as we are for resolution.
AMEN Brother
do unto others as you would want done unto you
Yes, but we are growing weary. The wait is agonizing...😩
As always, your words-so eloquently stated-bring me comfort. Thank you.😊

You - " There is always just enough progress to sustain hope and prevent sinking into self-pity"
That goes to show that we are being guided and protected in this process. We are taken to the brink so that we may grow and be a light to others and just when we feel we will break He calms the storm just enough.
