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:

Saturday night, my hubby had a heart attack-his second. Long story but once again God intervened and he is fine. We are blessed beyond all measure. I almost feel guilty for God’s goodness to us. So that’s what we’re contemplating now. I share this only to put the thought into your head. Not sharing more Read more
Safety doesn’t come from the Secret Service. We all know know what happened Saturday. A Presidential assassination attempt. It left us shaken. Feeling insecure. There are lots of pundits extolling the importance of political rivals toning down the hateful rhetoric. But let’s not look at them. Let’s look at ourselves. How often do we have Read more
Stepping outside our comfort zone is never easy, but we sometimes must. We’d all like to stay in our comfort zone. You will be surprised at what leaving mine entails. It’s attending my very first high school class reunion. I’ll bet most of you would have no problem with that. But I do. The things Read more
This little DIY tray was a last-minute project for someone. I was getting ready to donate it to Goodwill when I thought, hmmm, maybe I could paint a beach scene for her. Of course, I had no idea it was going to turn out so good, or I would’ve taken “process” pictures. But I think Read more
Good morning, everyone. Here’s a fun DIY I snuck in between marathon writing sessions. Busy writing but sneaking in a DIY I’ve been busy writing all week, spending hours at the computer. I’m happy with the rewrites and new covers, but I must say that writing a book about prayer certainly shows where I am Read more
We were supposed to be on a trip out west last week, but that didn’t happen because of a problem with our house that had to be addressed. I am disappointed, but I am reminded that God sees the big picture. It’s so easy to get caught up in our disappointment and focus on 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.
