"I don't know your story or what your life looks like right now. But there is a good chance that, before the year comes to a close, you'll have a day or two (or twelve) that come with more melancholy than joy. I get it, sister. Some days are just plain hard. But God's goodness remains the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He is the One thing we can count on."Leave a comment for Michele: https://incourage.me/?p=255268--Pick up the winter issue of DaySpring's Everyday Faith Magazine!

"If you're finishing this year feeling weary, take heart. God is not finished with you. He's still restoring, still strengthening, still writing redemption into your story. May we trade our striving for His rest and find hope for what's next. The same God who has held me, holds you too."Leave a comment for Karina: https://incourage.me/?p=255341--Pick up the winter issue of DaySpring's Everyday Faith Magazine!

"The strand of gold found in the familiarity of failure is that God is always arranging our circumstances behind the scenes for our favor and good. Believing this builds our trust muscles to rely on God rather than our own efforts. And then we know that our job is to work hard by doing what God has asked us to do, and we let Him handle the results."Leave a comment for Kristen: https://incourage.me/?p=255176--As the season of Thanksgiving approaches, embrace the spirit of gratitude and let friends and loved ones know how much they mean to you with DaySpring's collection of Thanksgiving cards!

"Love without strings and kindness without expectations aren't easy. They are impossible, really, unless we ask God to give us His heart for others. Only then will we be able to truly love one another, giving freely and offering kindness as a genuine expression of God's love. And our eternal reward for that will be more than we can imagine."Leave a comment: https://incourage.me/?p=255297--As the season of Thanksgiving approaches, embrace the spirit of gratitude and let friends and loved ones know how much they mean to you with DaySpring's collection of Thanksgiving cards!

"It seems to me that setting down burdens doesn't mean that the good things we've carried are bad, it means that we can only carry so much.

When you think of popular Bible stories, like the Christmas story, you might imagine particular things — that Mary and Joseph were poor, that they traveled through the desert to get to Bethlehem, or even that Jesus was born in a dirty barn. But are those things really true?Sometimes we approach Scripture with Western eyes and English translations that don't give us a complete picture of the historical and cultural reality of these stories.The new book, Wow! I Didn't Know!: Things You Never Knew About the Stories of Jesus by Dr. Craig & Ginny Evans, dives deeper into Scripture to shine a light on common misconceptions and reveal the more likely facts that can not only deepen our understanding, but change the way we view the stories that many of us know by heart – not only the Christmas story, but many from Scripture.Order your copy of Wow!

"If you listen to the news, you'll only hear talk of division, but the conviction that you should do unto others as you would have them do unto you is alive and well.

"The hostility is untenable. We're losing our hold on hope. And at least part of the reason is that we've stopped seeing each other as humans with innate dignity and worth. Instead, we see each other as unrecognizable animals, obstacles to our own agendas. In the process, we've become animals ourselves."Leave a comment for Michele: https://incourage.me/?p=254624--The clock is counting down on DaySpring's October Markdowns!

"Sometimes, God allows us to be hidden for a while. Not because He's done with us. Not because He's forgotten us. But because He's doing something deep inside of us that can only happen in the quiet. Hidden seasons are often necessary to strip away the noise, the striving, the endless pressure to perform. They force us to rest when we would rather keep running. And though they feel barren, God is at work beneath the surface, strengthening and preparing us for the next season."Leave a comment for Simi: https://incourage.me/?p=254628--The clock is counting down on DaySpring's October Markdowns!

"Navigating difficult conversations isn't easy. If you feel overwhelmed by or resistant to the idea, I get it. I would rather avoid conflict and tension at all costs.

"Getting on my knees, I say, “Lord, forgive me for the times I choose my way over Your way. Forgive me for not wanting to deal with the sin in my own heart first.
