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.

(Seriously, have no idea why this post didn’t get sent out this morning. Correcting that now.) I’ve been wanting to make this recipe ever since I saw it on a cooking show hosted by Giada DeLaurentis.

I realize I’m probably one of the few people who doesn’t want to win this present lottery. For one thing, I’m happy as things are now. I like shopping for my clothes at Goodwill because when I do I envision my bank account not getting smaller by too much. The money I save by not Read more
I love thrift shopping but every once in a while, I really make a mistake that haunts me. Today was one of those days. I passed up a great bargain and someone else snatched it up. I’m still prostrate with grief. Read more
Happy Saturday to all of you. Here in Michigan we are expecting a major snowstorm, especially here on the lakeshore. But we love it when we’re snowed in. We missed it last year.
