When Home is More Than a Zip Code - Lisa

I've lived on three different continents in the last ten years. And I'm learning that home is much more than four walls and a familiar neighborhood. Home is the God who understands each of the unique languages, thoughts, hopes and dreams of our individual hearts. Nothing can separate us from His love. Not time zones or cultures or the things we wish we could change about ourselves.

Christ is the bridge.

He brings us back into the deep heart of God. No matter where we're coming from. Out of emptiness or loss or disaster, Christ brings us back to His Father.  The only real home we can always count on.

But our citizenship is in heaven.  And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 3:20 NIV

May you find welcome and home in Him.

(in)courage is the place and space built by DaySpring to be an online home for your heart, you might imagine it as a bit like a beach house. You can put your sandy, dirty feet on the coffee table, laugh late into the night with friends, and also hear God's voice clearer than perhaps anywhere else. Life just feels more vibrant and real, as if you've stumbled upon a glimpse of heaven and it's nothing like you ever imagined but everything you'd always hoped. We've said from the start the start the beach house isn't ours. It belongs to God and we're its caretakers. With you at the heart of it all.
