Fearis loud. It echoes in our minds, narrates worst-case scenarios, and tries to convince us that the story is over. It can prevent us from moving forward, binding us in a cocoon of doubt and anxiety. But Scripture reminds us: love gets the last word. God’s love is unshakable, unbreakable, and unending. It is a beacon of hope that pierces through the darkest moments. Anxiety, grief, or uncertainty can’t silence God’s love. It speaks louder.
Love holds firmer, wrapping us in its embrace when we feel most vulnerable. It stays longer, lingering in our hearts and souls, providing comfort in our most trying times. When fear tries to write your ending, God’s love steps in with a better script. He writes about redemption, restoration, and hope. God’s love rewrites our narratives to reflect His grace. Your fear does not define you. You are held by love, a love that transforms and uplifts. And love always finishes what it starts, guiding us toward a future filled with promise and peace.
Real-Life Example:
You’re grieving a loss, and fear whispers, “You’ll never feel whole again.” It tells you healing is impossible. But God’s love holds you through the ache. It reminds you: this isn’t the end. You begin to see flickers of hope, moments of comfort, signs of life returning. Not because fear disappeared overnight, but because love stayed.
As you continue on your journey of healing and finding solace in God’s love, remember that fear may linger in the shadows, but it doesn’t have the power to dictate your future. It is God’s that will guide you towards wholeness. Embrace the flickers of hope and moments of comfort as reminders that love always triumphs over the darkness of fear. With each passing day, you’ll discover that it is love that has the final word, not fear.

I am busy making the final touches on my new book.

It’s strange how certain activities can prompt a spiritual awakening for us. Or at least, get us to thinking. That’s what happened when changed some things in our cabin bedroom. I believe God uses all the circumstances in our lives to draw us closer to Him. READ MORE HERE…. Read more
I was at a Magnolia-type in northern Michigan over the weekend. I saw so much I would’ve bought if we’d only had a larger vehicle. Next year I’m bringing a truck for sure. Anyway, I did find some great enamelware and a coffee filter flower I have to figure out how to make. The enamelware Read more
I think I shared about our storm damage a few weeks ago. (Take this picture and imagine it twice as bad. This is only one small area.) We don’t have the mess completely cleared yet. More trees had to come down. More brush and limbs taken away. We’ve had a tree removal service here for Read more
We are at our little red cabin up north. We won’t have too many more times up here as we shut the cabin down in October. That’s always such a sad day. Last Sunday we attended our little church up here. The pastor of this church without a doubt does more research and study than Read more

Hi. I'm so glad you're here.
My blog focuses on faith and mental health issues such as mood disorders like depression, anxiety, and dysthymia (chronic low moods that don't qualify as depression.) I post DIY and decorating projects when I can.
My book, "Depression Has A Big Voice. Make Yours Bigger! (Expanded Edition), is on sale at all online retailers. I have a Psychology degree and post-graduate courses in Clinical Pastoral Education. I am a former hospital chaplain, Bible teacher, and retreat/conference inspirational speaker.
Thank you for visiting and may you feel God's presence today.
