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.
Reflection Prompt:

I think I know myself pretty well. But it’s not how I always present myself. By the way, it isn’t just me. It’s all of us. We all have different personas we present to different people. That’s because there are many sides to all of us. And it’s not as bad as you might… Read more
Sometimes inspiration strikes and you find your decorating inner guru. I bought some little white pumpkins and wanted to display one in the living room. Originally, I just placed the pumpkin on this table and let it go but later I thought, “There is not enough dimension. It’s just lacking something.” Then I thought about… Read more
So yesterday, I showed you a white pumpkin on a white table but I didn’t show you the table. I saved that for today. I got this table from an estate. It was an estate for a distant relative and I was allowed to take what I wanted. I picked out a few things. This… Read more
Sometimes inspiration just “strikes”. I bought some little white pumpkins last week. I wanted to do something “sweet” with just one of them. Does that make any sense? Can decorating be “sweet”? Apparently, in my venacular, it can be. But what? I put it on a small table I had just refinished but it looked kind… Read more
So last week, I posted this. It was a short post on a day I don’t usually post. (Therein, lies the problem. You can take the blogger out of her routine but you can’t take the routine out of the blogger. ) In that post, I was supposed to show you a sketch of the… Read more
So last week I showed you a bunch of fabric pumpkins I’ve made. What I didn’t show you was what I consider a great way to make the “sections” on the pumpkin without having to sew anything. Here are the pumpkins I sent my daughter. By the way, I used driftwood and sticks for the… 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.
