You weren’t meant to do life alone.🤍

Meaningful relationships don’t just happen - they’re built when we choose to show up, get connected, and do life together.

Who are the people God has placed in your life that make you better? Tag them below.

We can’t stay where we’ve always stayed and expect to become who God is calling us to be.

It’s time to come out of hiding, step into the light, and let God lead us forward. 🤍

Before Jesus healed what everyone could see, He healed what no one could see. 🤍

The man came looking for a physical miracle, but Jesus went straight to his heart.

Because sometimes the miracle we’re asking for isn’t the first miracle Jesus wants to do in us.

He doesn’t just want to change your circumstances - He wants to transform your heart.

Pastor @ellenbeach brought the word yesterday as we continued in our Flourish series. If you missed it, check it out at BuildingChurch.tv taken in Madison, Alabama by @ellenbeach

Before you choose who to marry, ask yourself: Will this person be an anchor when life gets hard?

Shared faith isn’t just about going to church together. It’s about both of you knowing Jesus, growing in your relationship with Him, and being able to point each other back to Him when the storms come.

Don’t just look at who someone is when life is easy. Consider who will be holding your hand and reminding you of God’s faithfulness when it’s not. 🤍

If you’re looking for biblical encouragement for dating, relationships, and marriage, I’d love for you to follow along.

Sometimes the greatest act of faith is refusing to stop praying.

When they told Bartimaeus to be quiet, he shouted even louder. He refused to let the voices around him silence his cry to Jesus.

Don’t let discouragement, delay, or opposition convince you to stop praying. Keep asking. Keep seeking. Keep knocking. Keep bringing it to Jesus.
Sometimes faith looks like refusing to be quiet.

If you needed this reminder today, save it and come back to it when you need it. 🤍 by @ellenbeach

Comfort says, “Stay where you are.”

Confidence says, “Take the next step.”

You don’t have to have everything figured out to move forward. You can show up today trusting that God is with you, He is leading you, and you don’t have to be afraid of what’s ahead.

Choose confidence over comfort today. 🤍

Forgiveness doesn’t mean what happened didn’t hurt. It means you stop carrying the responsibility of making things right and place it in God’s hands.

You can’t control what someone else did, but you can choose to bring your hurt to God and allow Him to begin healing what was wounded.

Forgive. Let God handle justice. And take care of the heart that was hurt. 🤍

If you’re looking for biblical encouragement for healthy, Christ-centered relationships, I’d love for you to follow along. New #MarriageMonday encouragement is shared each week.

There comes a point when you realize you don’t need to have an opinion about everyone else’s journey.

You don’t have to correct every voice, compare your life to theirs, or figure out what everyone else should be doing.

You can simply become more intentional about who God has called you to be.

There is freedom in finding your own voice and learning to use it well. 🤍 by @ellenbeach

Sometimes we have to get uncomfortable enough to say, “I don’t want to live like this anymore.”

Change isn’t always easy. It can mean breaking habits, asking for help, setting new boundaries, or surrendering the things we’ve tried to control.

But you don’t have to make those changes alone.

Invite the Holy Spirit into the process. Ask Him to change you, strengthen you, and put the right people around you.

Choose the discomfort of change today so you can walk in the freedom God has for you tomorrow. 🤍

Both of my girls were sad yesterday.
One is Gen Z and the other Gen Alpha. My sadness made sense, but their sadness caught me off guard.

I realized yesterday that Dolly Parton influenced generations. Not hundreds. Not thousands. Generations.

And she did it with contagious joy and kindness, coupled with a stubborn, faithful stewardship of the gifts God gave her.

Both of my girls got her books in the mail before they were old enough to know who she was. She was generous when no one was watching and gracious when everyone was.

She had wealth, beauty and fame. But that’s not why she captivated the world.

Dolly’s life and legacy remind me that love, joy, kindness and generosity travel further than we will ever know.

Thank you, Dolly💗 by @ellenbeach

Are you drawn to who he is, or who you hope he will become?

It can be easy to fall in love with someone’s potential and assume marriage will bring out the person you know they could be. But marriage isn’t a project, and your spouse isn’t someone you’re supposed to fix.

Before you say “I do,” ask yourself: Do I deeply respect and honor who this person is right now?

If you’re looking for biblical encouragement for relationships, dating, and marriage, I’d love for you to follow along. 🤍

Sometimes the people who challenge us the most are also where God gives us the greatest opportunities to grow.

Every relationship can teach us something about trust, patience, grace, and faithfulness.

God can use the difficult moments in our relationships to refine our character and draw us closer to Him.

Even in the difficult relationships, God is still working in you. 🤍 by @ellenbeach
