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:

(For some reason, this didn’t post. So am posting it now.) Today I’m thankful for the concept of “lazy”. However it’s not what you think. It’s not because I have much experience with laziness. That’s precisely the point. I wish I were-lazier I mean. We are experiencing an unexpected snowstorm with accumulations of about four-to seven Read more
“K” “K” is not easy. I could cheat and use a “C” word that sounds like “K” and justify my choice based on phonics. But I won’t. I’m going to pick “kangaroos.” (They are not “pretty”, are they?) “Why”, you ask? Because kangaroos remind me of Australia and I love Australia. One of my favorite movies Read more
“J” I think everyone will agree with me today. I’m thankful for “Joy”. Pure, unspoiled joy. Who isn’t? Joy, unlike happiness, exists regardless of circumstances. For me it is the joy of knowing I am loved by God, period. It’s the joy of knowing that I’m forgiven when I screw up. It’s knowing grace and mercy will always shower Read more
Intervals. Yep. Intervals. What a strange thing to be grateful for, huh? But not when you really think about it. How would we get through life without intervals? Intervals between struggles. Intervals between depression. Intervals between demands. Intervals are good. Even on my Elliptical machine, intervals are what gets me through my work-out. Today Read more
What to do with “H”. Seeing as I’m having one of my favorite breakfasts this morning, it’s “Honey”. A few years ago my husband was working in Georgia and I went along for the ride. A local restaurant had a a Croissant/honey/nut breakfast roll. I was hooked. So now I have it as often as Read more
Today is another easy pick. I’m picking Goodwill. Not the attribute, the store. I LOVE Goodwill stores! Except for a few pieces, almost all my furniture comes from thrift stores or second-hand shops. Probably eighty percent of my clothes do, too. From what others tell me, I do a pretty good job with putting my house and 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.
