Some lives reflect heaven long before they get there. This is the story of my dear friend Denise—her courage, her peace, and the fragrance of Christ that poured out even in her final season. Her life reminds us that when love is poured out, heaven truly smells like love.

When people say “God is in control,” it can sound like a comfort—but it often breeds passivity instead of faith. Ephesians 1:10 TPT shows us that God’s plan is still unfolding and that He invites us to partner with Him to bring His kingdom on earth.

When the results come in and your heart sinks, remember this: courage isn’t about who sits in office—it’s about who reigns in your heart. God is calling His remnant to rise, to trust, and to shine His light in a wilderness season.
