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.

(Reconciliation can be hard. This is a repeat post from a couple of years ago but I wanted to repost it as I believe the pandemic has probably been the cause of many family issues this past eighteen or so months. And even though this is a post centering around the death of someone, I Read more
A mission fulfilled. My book is finally on Amazon, a mission fulfilled. It was fairly anti-climactic as I didn’t even know it right away. I wrote a book!!! Whoa. I still don’t believe it. I really did write a book. But I am well aware, God was the power behind it. He will be the Read more
Why is it that when you accomplish something great, it isn’t always what it seems. Accomplishing a long-term dream I mean you’re expecting fireworks. A cake with hundreds of candles. A sense of “Yea, I did it.” I signed off on my book yesterday, meaning it will hit Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc, in about Read more
Being honest with God Honesty with God isn’t easy. Have you honestly told God how you really feel? We often think we’re being honest; we seldom are. The heart lags behind at times. If you’ll recall, my post yesterday was about how my mood was down and I figured it was because of the stress Read more
Spiritual fog is very much like a hike in the woods on a foggy day. A path through the spiritual fog I have spinal stenosis. This particular day, I was dealing with some sciatica pain and my husband wasn’t sure I would be able to take this route as there are hills. But I had Read more
Connecting the dots helps you analyze your attitudes. Take a few minutes at the end of the day. Think through your day. How would you define your day, good, bad, or just so-so? How do you label your days? The thing about connecting your dots is that it really helps you analyze why you labeled 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.
