Lights, costumes, candy...and a perfect reminder to let our real light shine! Jesus called us to be light in the darkness, not just today, but every day.

So tonight, as little lights twinkle on porches and laughter fills the streets, let’s be intentional about shining His light, through kindness, generosity, and joy. Whether you’re passing out candy, spending time with family, or gathering with friends, let your light reflect the love of the One who never changes.

There’s a quiet comfort in knowing that every ache of the soul is seen, every tear is noticed, and every wound is held by a loving hand.

No matter how broken the moment feels, no matter what you’re walking through, you have a loving Father in heaven who is always working behind the scenes, turning pain into peace, and loss into light.

Turn to the Father today and find the overwhelming peace and comfort that can only be found in Him.

Sometimes the waiting feels endless. The silence, the setbacks, the unanswered prayers, they can all make us question if God is really working. But Isaiah 30:18 reminds us that He’s not only present in the waiting, but He blesses it.⁣

God isn’t withholding good from you out of neglect or delay. He’s holding it until the moment it becomes best. His plan is never rushed, never random, and never late. He longs to be gracious to you, and He will rise up to show you compassion, in the exact right time.⁣

So if you’re in a season of waiting, take heart: you are not behind. You are not forgotten. You are right where grace is growing. And when His plan unfolds, it will be worth every second you spent trusting Him.⁣

His timing > ours. His ways > ours. His plan is always worth the wait.⁣

Let this be a reminder we carry daily:
That faith isn’t just believing God can, it’s trusting Him even if He doesn’t.

Even when the prayer goes unanswered.
Even when the door stays closed.
Even when the fire doesn’t stop.

He is still good.

His goodness isn’t dependent on our circumstances, it’s anchored in His character.
Unchanging. Steadfast. Present.

The kind of faith that says “But if not…” is the kind that walks through the fire without fear, because it knows God is with us, whether He delivers us from the fire or through it.

Carry this truth with you today and every day:
You don’t have to understand the outcome to trust the One who holds it.

Joy isn’t just a fleeting feeling — it’s a deep, lasting assurance that comes from being close to God. This verse is a beautiful reminder that we don’t have to chase happiness in the world or strive to manufacture peace in our own strength. When we draw near to Him, we find everything we truly need: peace, comfort, strength, and JOY that overflows, even in difficult seasons.

His presence is not limited to a moment in church or a quiet time in the morning, it’s available to us every day, in every place. Whether you’re walking through a season of celebration or one of struggle, know that His presence is near and with Him comes joy that cannot be shaken.

Let today be a reminder: you don’t have to have it all figured out. You just need to stay close to the One who holds it all together. He is your source of joy. Full, complete, and never-ending.

Which one are you?
Are you living from your identity—anchored in who God says you are?

Or are you constantly searching, striving to find yourself in people, performance, or possessions?

In a world full of noise, pressure, and comparison, it’s easy to forget that our truest identity isn’t something we earn or create—it’s something we receive.
⁣
God doesn’t ask us to search for an identity. He invites us to receive the one He’s already given us: chosen, loved, redeemed, called.

So… which are you?
Still searching? Or learning to live from the truth of who you already are in Him?

These days, the world feels more uncertain than ever. Loss has knocked on doors we never expected. Grief is sitting at too many tables. And answers… are in short supply.

But Scripture doesn’t promise answers. It promises peace.
Not the kind that makes sense, but the kind that stays when nothing else does. The peace of God doesn’t ignore the heartbreak. It doesn’t erase the ache. It simply stands guard over our hearts, when our hearts feel most exposed.

It is deeper than reason. Surer than headlines. Closer than fear. So we come with what we have, questions, prayers, tears, and trust that His peace will meet us in the silence, in the sorrow, in the stillness after the storm.

As we head into the weekend, here’s a gentle reminder for your heart: You don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t need to strive or chase what the world says will satisfy. Instead—trust. Trust in the One who sees the whole picture, even when your view is blurry.

Keep showing up. Keep doing good. Stay rooted where He has placed you, and walk faithfully, even in the small things. There’s beauty in a quiet, steadfast life that honors God, even when no one’s watching.

When you make Him your delight, when your heart finds its joy, rest, and hope in Him, something powerful happens: your desires begin to align with His. And in that space, you’ll find peace, purpose, and fulfillment far beyond what the world can offer.

So today, let this be your encouragement: God is faithful. He sees you. And as you lean into Him, He is working in ways you can’t yet see. Keep going—you’re not alone.

Second-guessing ourselves. Feeling like we’ll never be enough. Carrying the weight of shame that the world, and even our own minds, try to place on us. It’s exhausting living from a perspective that was never meant to define us.

But here’s the truth: when we choose to live from God’s perspective of us — not our flawed, critical, fear-filled view — everything changes. His view is full of grace, purpose, identity, and love. In His eyes, we are chosen, cherished, and created on purpose for a purpose.

Self-loathing starts to lose its grip. Shame loses its voice. And the noise of the world begins to fade.

Let this be your reminder today: you don’t have to be ruled by how you see yourself. You get to live in the freedom of how He sees you.

This truth cuts deep but brings so much clarity. Marriage is a beautiful covenant, but it was never designed to replace our ultimate relationship with God. When we expect our spouse to meet every emotional, spiritual, and even identity-based need, we place on them a weight only Christ can carry. No person—no matter how loving, patient, or committed—can satisfy the deep places in our soul that were created to be filled by God alone.

Many of us walk into marriage hoping it will fix us, heal us, or complete us, but when we do that, we turn our spouse into an idol and set ourselves up for disappointment. The purpose of marriage isn’t to find salvation in each other, but to reflect the love, grace, and sacrifice of Jesus to one another. Real intimacy begins when we stop demanding perfection from our spouse and instead surrender our deepest needs to the One who is perfect.

Let your marriage be a space where God’s love flows through both of you, not a place where you try to extract from each other what only God can give.
