The saints aren't just historical figures. They are not dead. They are alive in Heaven, cheering us on and encouraging us. Friends who are by our side and will never stop routing for us.

In moments of discouragement, moments of weariness and moments when you might find yourself wondering, "Is this even worth it?" obviously turn to Jesus, but also ask your friends in Heaven to intercede for you. And if you don't quite have that friendship yet, keep your eyes open because oftentimes the saints find us. Pray for that friendship.
