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’m switching up Monday’s time to post to 11:00 A.M. The rest of the week will be at 11:00 PM. At least for now.) Saturday was so hot here. I didn’t “hit” as many garage sales as I wanted but for the few I did get to, I found some cute sweaters ($1.00 each and Read more
Do I dare say it again? I H-A-T-E hot weather. My friend and I hit the garage sales today and we could barely breathe, the humidity was so “heavy”. But it’s always good to be with friends. And I’ll show you what I found on Monday’s post, spent a whopping $2.50. We’ve been gone this Read more
I was taking my walk one day last week. It was HOT but it was also morning so I knew I could handle it. But then the strangest thing happened that left me with a great impression. As I said, it was hot. And when I started walking there was no breeze. Nothing. Nada. Then Read more
We get all got up with the results of our obedience to God. God cares little for the end result. For God, the process IS the end. We keep thinking that our obedience is supposed to lead somewhere specific. When it doesn’t, we question the whole thing. It’s not that he doesn’t answer our specific prayers Read more
I found this on Pinterest and wanted to share it with you. But I want to add a few more: the prayer that was never prayed. that person you didn’t smile at the senior citizen you didn’t help the call you didn’t make the money you didn’t give the apology you never made and so Read more
Thought I’d share what I found at garage sales Saturday. The tins were fifty cents. The Ritz can is an antique so I probably won’t paint that one. But the other two? Well, you know me and paint, especially spray paint. These little plates are plastic with gold trim. I fell in love with them. Aren’t they 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.
