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.

It’s All Good For many Melt Down Mondays, I will be focusing on jargon I hear all the time that drive me nuts. Today is one such Monday. I hear this sentence being used a lot. I keep trying to figure out what people mean when they this. I mean I get it when it’s Read more
Today I encountered a new “worm”. Or should I say an old “worm” that just hadn’t shown its head for quite a while. The worm that’s eating my apple today is comparison and envy. Our moods can easily plummet when we let our guard down even a little. I’m having a perfectly wonderful day. Hubby Read more
hang up, PLEASE!!!!! If I don’t know you, do I really care about your personal business? I’m so sick of people talking on their “cells” and divulging information I couldn’t care less about. I was at the dentist’s office last week. A young woman was on her cell phone discussing some sort of financial problem Read more
I sure am glad my last post was about grace because today I’m feelin’ the lack of it. Doesn’t mean it isn’t there. God’s grace probably shines on us more often than we realize. Do you ever have days like that? Days when you’re feeling “unsettled”, not quite “with it”. It’s usually days like that I Read more
ttp://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/06/27/daily-prompt-art/ art is more than just talent I love art. Love looking at it, love making it. I wouldn’t call myself an artist although others might. I’ve been fortunate in that I’ve been to the Louvre in Paris a few times. The Musee de Orsay is wonderful, too. I actually like de Orsay better as 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.
