"We can be the one who helps another girl fly. In tangible ways and in words spoken. In giving from our time, our talents, and our treasures. In showing up when we're needed, even if we're not asked. In opening our hearts, our homes, our hands to one another. In a world where it's often easier to assume, ignore, or compete, we can be the ones to su…

"If you’re having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day (or week or month or season), you might feel like I did last week. You may be tempted to stuff all the hard feelings, to hide under the covers, and refuse to come out until the world plays nice, or to simply go radio silent. You might think you have to take care of everyone else first an…

"We need consistent hydration. We need the living water that only Jesus offers. The very same water that He offered the Samaritan woman at the well has the power to transform us from the inside out. He is our Thirst-Quencher when we are parched, our Teacher when we lack technique, our Shepherd when we need a gentle guide." Join the conversation: ht…

"Through the noise of my shame, I hear the voice of Jesus who keeps gently reminding me that He is the God of abundance who isn’t put off by my barely. When I’m barely holding on, God is abundantly able to hold me. It’s because of our barely that Jesus laid Himself bare on the cross. He took all our weakness, sin, and failure upon His flawless self…

"Wherever you are today, God’s mercies are available to you. Whether you’re raging over the injustices in your life or in the world, or you’re weary from the everyday mundane. Whether you cry yourself to sleep at night or bemoan when morning comes, you can count on God’s new mercies to meet you. His mercies are new every minute, every millisecond, …

"You are God’s first choice. If you’re feeling like a backup friend today, my heart is heavy for you. I know how that feels, and it’s horrible. If you’re feeling like you’ll never be anyone’s first choice, take heart. Don’t spiral into those dark thoughts! You are someone’s first choice. You’re the first choice of the One. You are loved by God. You…

"By keeping less, we experience more. One of our (in)courage contributors, Kathi Lipp, is an expert on decluttering. Recently when I couldn’t decide what to do with a sentimental object, she asked me, “Will you ever go looking for it?” It’s a powerful question that continues to help me filter what should stay and what should go. She said that every…

"I can trust God to work toward my good. When I'm getting a lukewarm response from someone after extending the hand of friendship, I've found freedom in saying to myself, "Ya know, Kristen, she's just not able to reciprocate now. Maybe she won't be ever. Either way, you're gonna be fine." ⁠And then I decide to take the pressure off myself (and her!…

"Easter is coming, to be sure. But Good Friday comes first. God isn’t afraid of death or your grief. He weeps with us. He is close to the brokenhearted. And soon, when we begin to see a glimmer of light from beneath the sadness, we can hold fast to this, too… Resurrection is coming. " Leave a comment for Aliza: https://incourage.me/?p=237869 -- Get…

"Only by seeing the good and the hard intertwined and overlapping do I see how faithful God has been to me. Our lives are full of both joy and pain — often at the very same time. And that’s okay.

"Beloved, when will we ever not need to be reminded that our only confidence in life is Christ? When will we ever not need the reminder that Christ cares for us?

"Serving well begins with asking for suggestions, listening carefully, and getting creative by anticipating all sorts of needs.

What i…

"God may not be yelling; He could be whispering. Don’t let the struggles of this life steal the voice of Love. You haven’t lost your ability to hear Him well, you may have just entered a new level of intimacy with God. God is inviting you to know Him, not simply in the big moments but in the seasons of quiet when life is hard. He wants you to know …

"God will never abandon you in your time of grief. When you feel completely alone in this world, turn to God’s Word for comfort. When the tears won’t stop, turn to God to dry your tears. When you feel like you’ve utterly hit rock bottom, turn to God for hope. He’s there with you, in the fallow season, whispering in your ear, “I’ve got you. You’re g…

"I learned two eye-opening (and heart-humbling) lessons: 1. Words hold the power of life and death for the person who says them. 2. Words hold the power of life and death for the person who hears them. Our words impact our ability to do hard things. And our words impact the ability of other people to do hard things. Yes, there are moments when we m…

"We can call out to God -- not only in our distress but in our day-to-day. You may be landlocked, but the God of the sea is still your God. You may have clear skies, but the God of stormy weather is still your God. You may be in an uncomfortable season, but the God of comfort and hope is still your God."

"What if we dared to replace our insistence on self-sufficiency with stubborn hope? What if we opened ourselves up to the infinite possibilities that lie in store when we place our hope outside of ourselves? When we stop hinging our worth based on what we can (or can’t) do and instead place our hope in who God is, we might just discover that we don…

"Hard things in other people's lives do not negate the pain you are carrying personally. God is big enough to care about the little things. Nothing is too big for our Lord. And nothing is too small either." Leave a comment for Jennifer: https://incourage.me/?p=237793 -- This Easter, prepare your heart and home with Simply Jesus: the Hope of Easter …

"When you fall apart, you are falling into grace. Even while life is crumbling in ways that we cannot comprehend or control, His love for us still proves to be all that we need.

"When we surrender, God will give us the gift of His peace. Is there a problem or person that you need to surrender to God? It’s hard to admit that you are powerless, but it’s even harder to live with the fear and frustration of what you can’t control. If you need to take the first step, you can start with another simple Surrender Prayer: God, I ca…

"Life doesn’t have to be a battle. We don’t have to fight to get ahead or fear falling behind. Instead, we can surrender. We can let go of life on our terms. As fear rises, we can refuse to put on our boxing gloves and instead lean on Jesus. I usually deal with my fear by using my own strength. When I sense my soul tensing up for a fight, I’ve lear…

"We don’t have to deal with our pain and worries by ourselves. When you go to God with your struggles and pain, He doesn’t think you’re exaggerating or being a drama queen, or just too emotional or hormonal. There are people in authority — doctors, parents, church leaders — who will sometimes fail. They will not believe you. They will not care for …

"Is Jesus knocking at the door of your heart? In Revelation 3:20 (NLT), Jesus said, 'Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear My voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.' Jesus gives each one of us the same invitation. He stands at the door of our hearts and knocks, but it’s up to us whether or …

We wear ourselves out looking for safety in all the wrong places — work, family, politics, achievement, money, relationships, and more. But when our hopes go up in flames, we discover how much we need a true Rescuer.

"What we believe about ourselves directly impacts what we believe about God. We have to ask God to reveal to us false beliefs about ourselves that have, often unconsciously, taken root in our hearts. And then ask Him to help us exchange those false beliefs for His truth. If you’ve accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior then you are a coheir with Ch…

"Endings are not failures; they are opportunities for growth. As you navigate the endings in your life, remember that God is with you, guiding you through the transitions. Release the fear of letting go and step into the hope of a new season. Endings are not conclusions; they are the prologue to the beautiful story God is unfolding in your life." L…

"I still shake my head in amazement over the life-giving stories taking place behind the scenes. It's proof positive that the Lord has given us everything we need to walk a road of welcome in our everyday lives. It isn’t about popularity or personality. None of these women knew me. It was a total faith walk and while tempted, I couldn't allow apath…

"We need Jesus. He’s the only One who will never let us down. I’ve seen Jesus battle fires in my life and the lives of others. I’ve seen Him rescue people that no one else could have rescued. God’s rescue plan is right there in today’s verse! Our world is on fire. Our lives are on fire. And Jesus is the One on the nozzle, ready to smash down the fl…

"My story isn’t over yet, and I choose to trust the Author even when I don’t know what’s coming. I recently met two friends for coffee, and all three of us talked about unexpected shifts in our lives. Some personal. Some professional. All stretching us in uncomfortable ways. I said, “One of the only certainties in life is change.” When I remember t…

"Your weight is not your worth. God doesn't love you more if you're thin. God doesn't love you less if you're in a bigger body. Your pants size does not matter to God, and it doesn't matter if that size goes up or down or stays the same. God just loves you - wholly, as you are. The end."

"His love is better — always has been and always will be. God’s love heals our broken places and satisfies our souls in ways that human love never could. Being acquainted with such a love can carry us through every season — single or not — with a certain joy and sure safety that is impossible to find anywhere else. This Valentine’s Day, let’s hold …
