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.

I am absolutely in awe when God shows up in what I call a “how does God do that”, moment. It’s when God anticipates I need a confirmation from the Bible, circumstances or some other resources. Today is such a day. I don’t follow my traditional reading plan at the cabin because I have Read more
At the cabin. Sun is shining. Birds are chirping. Gentle breezes. Quiet. Peaceful. Painting supplies ready to go. All is well in my world. Then I remembered Heather. We attend a small church when we’re at the cabin. It doesn’t have the million dollar budget my home church does. At one point a young woman Read more
Up at “teeny tiny red cabin” I was so exhausted from all my hubby and I have been doing. I collapsed on the bed and slept for two hours! Feel like I could fall asleep again and it’s only eight o’clock. Sat in bunkhouse as it was too “mosquitoey” on the porch. I brought up Read more
Hello, everyone, I haven’t fallen off the earth. We are in middle of two re-modeling projects. They really aren’t big projects but because of where the rooms are located, we are having to circle the house outside to go from one part of the house to the other. Today the contractors are leaving. Tomorrow we are Read more
Today is the best day since surgery. And the worst day. We’re all busy. I get that. I don’t know many who aren’t and those that aren’t, wish they were. When I talk about “busy” though, I never mean the stressful kind. The kind where you feel everything is happening around you and you Read more
I’ve been doing some thinking. One of my previous posts was all about how our present decisions determine our future although I wrote about that subject in reverse order. But it occurs to me that I need to be more aware of this myself. For example, I am facing some big changes in the future that I wish 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.
