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.

What is the real freedom of letting others just “be?”? It’s amazingly freeing. The confusion that arises when people confuse us. Did you ever have an epiphany at a most ordinary time on a most ordinary day? When you’re doing the most ordinary thing? (Actually, when I think about it, that’s when all my epiphanies Read more
I wrote last week about choices. I remembered this post later. It’s one of my all-time favorites. Let me first say that I absolutely HATE (Does all that formatting make it clear how much?) the phrase, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” I’ve heard it used for countless other circumstances since then and I Read more
Sometimes a phrase becomes popular and we start using it without even thinking about how it might sound. We use it inappropriately. “Don’t sweat the small stuff”, is one of those. My response, “Who are you to decide what is “small stuff” for me?” Sometimes it’s said this way, “That’s not such a big deal.” Read more
I just saw something on the evening news I wanted to share it before I forget about it. Three Vietnam war POW’s (prisoners of war), were being interviewed. They were asked this question, “How would you define courage?” Here’s what one of them said. “Courage is fear that has been prayed”. Isn’t that great? I Read more
I love it when I do the right thing because even when I know the right thing to do, I don’t always do it. Especially if I’m tired. Especially if it interrupts my plans. (I hate to have my plans interrupted. “Do as much good as you can, to as many people as you can , Read more
I almost forgot it was Melt-down Monday as we are celebrating something called Memorial Day here in the States and I’ve been making baked beans, cleaning corn on the cob and making pasta salad for a family gathering today. For those in the States, HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! Thank to all the veterans and those still Read more

Hi. I'm so glad you're here.

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.
