About This Quote
We all wrestle with our innerself. It takes grace to find our soul. The meaning of this quote is that we must be willing to go into the darkness of our souls in order to find the light within. There is always a battle raging in most of us, but it is not the same battle every day.
We need to keep fighting in order to find grace and peace within ourselves, and for others to see it too. We may feel broken or unloved, but they are only feelings—not reality. We need to fight for our soul, not against it, because it is there inside of us if we are willing to look for it.
