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.

me and the homeless man I had an experience yesterday I want to share with you.This is a decidedly religious post but even if you don’t believe as I do, or don’t believe in God at all, you might find this interesting. First of all, the background. I’ve been looking for a cute summer dress Read more
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/08/07/daily-prompt-never-2/ There’s probably been more than one “never again” for me. The one that comes to mind though is in reference to something I just said last week, “I will never, ever play another game of golf.” I don’t know why I ever even played the first game. I guess I thought it might be Read more
I was reading today in II Chronicles : 16. The verses before this tell King Uzziah’s story. How in the beginning of his reign he did right in God’s eyes. The next verses tell how he built his kingdom and his armies. Much of his war arsenal was designed and developed by other people whose invention helped Read more
I was going to write a long post about anti-depressants. As I was checking out some health sites, I came across this link, http://www.helpguide.org/mental/medications_depression.htm. This is very good information. I highly recommend it. But before you check it out I want to add a few things. Having taken anti-depressants on and off for a number Read more
Is it just me or do you have the same issue I do with good hair and bad hair days? Why is it when my hair looks great I end up not going anywhere or seeing anybody. When it looks terrible, I run into everybody, usually people I haven’t seen in a while. I know Read more
I’ve recently become obsessed with making mirrors. Here are two them. All supplies were from The Dollar Tree. This first mirror frame is quite light so the beads actually help weight it down a little and hang better. I didn’t actually “make” this mirror, just embellished it. This first project took all of about twenty minutes. It 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.
