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:
What fear has been trying to write your life’s story lately? What truth from God’s love can rewrite that ending—and remind you who holds the pen?

I think part of the problem in keeping resolutions is taking the time to really thinking them through. Most resolutions are no more than “wishes”, which isn’t a bad thing but without a well thought out plan even our wishes won’t come true. Resolution keeping should be based on sound strategy. Sometimes we sabotage ourselves before we even begin. Read more

One of my biggest challenges is learning to pace myself. I used to think I was one of few people with this problem. But just about every person I know suffers from the same dis-ease. I write it that way, dis-ease, because it really is a case of not being at–ease with ourselves. But pacing is not Read more
Death is truly the great equalizer of men. Sometimes, when I look at all my “stuff” I think about this. Sure, I enjoy it. And God certainly has no problem with wealth (not mine but wealth in general 🙂 ) as evidenced by King David, Solomon, Abraham and others. God often blesses His children materially. And Read more
I love what Mahatma Gandhi said, (I may be a Christian but I don’t have a problem with learning from those who profess their faith differently.) This cycle of thinking, speaking, and doing is the same cycle that if out of sync must be restored to harmony in a depressive episode. If even one of them is damaged by depression, all the Read more
January is a great month. At least I think it is. I know we can start anew anytime we want, but January seems such a perfect time. In Michigan the days are long and cold and dreary for the next two months. Unless you ski, which I would like to but can’t, it is a 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.
