Marriage isn’t easy. Divorce can feel even harder. But no matter where you are—fighting for your relationship or healing after it’s ended—God’s kindness is big enough to redeem your pain and bring hope.

Even though Jesus had told His followers that He would die and rise again on the third day, their hearts were so weighed down by grief and despair that they struggled to grasp the truth—He was alive. If you find yourself in a similar season of sorrow or uncertainty, take heart: Jesus is already at work in the midst of your pain. He has risen, just as He said. Let this good news breathe hope into every corner of your life.

The two criminals hanging alongside Jesus took opposite approaches in their last moments. One was arrogant, while the other was self-aware. One was selfish, while the other took a posture of humility with Jesus. Be like the criminal who recognized and declared his need for Jesus. It's what saved his life, and it's what will save yours.

God is calling you to aspire to a life of extraordinary good. You’ve got two responses: engage or withdraw. Which will it be?

If you’re going to follow Jesus with your whole life, you’re going to need to get used to being different from the world. Just as God is holy, you are called to live distinctly from everyone else around you. Saints are set apart, after all. Be holy, not worldly.

It can be easy to overestimate ourselves or rely on performance to try to earn our place in God's family. The good news is that Jesus invites us to a different path. As we follow him more closely, we discover a better source of confidence.

Even when it's difficult, lead with grace. In a world where grace is often scarce, let us be the ones who embody it consistently. After all, it is how God shows up for us every single day.

A stubborn, hard heart will only get you what you want, which in the end, isn’t enough. Turn to the person of Jesus and receive all he’s offering you. He’s not a strategy, but a Savior, and he’s ready to raise you to life in him.

The greatest investment you can make in this lifetime isn’t in accounts or assets -- it’s in people. Point others toward Jesus and watch it yield eternal dividends.

Jesus faced accusations, mockery, and calls for his execution, yet he responded with quiet love instead of offense. When tempted to be hurt by others' words or opinions, follow his example and choose to remain unoffendable.
