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.

Have you ever had a week when your brain has just been overwhelmed? How about brain fry? Or when you tell yourself you just can’t learn anything else. Well, that was my week last week. I’ve learned that writing a book is a lot more than just sitting down and writing. I find writing easy. Read more
It isn’t often I have what I could call a “perfect”day. Today was close though. Would you like to hear about it? First of all, I slept good the night before and I was up by 6:30. I’m trying to get up earlier all the time. It was a sunny day. My husband and I Read more
I haven’t really addressed what is happening in our nation right now. The unrest, the protests, the riots. It seems like everyone else has though. And I don’t think I will today except to say that I don’t think it hurts anyone to at least examine our hearts. I want to look inside and make Read more
See that orange glider? See those wonderful covers? They are plastic tablecloths from Walmart. I merely wrap the cushions just like you would a gift and use clear packaging tape to tape it down. I didn’t take off the old plastic cloth. It just adds another waterproof layer. I just put them on so they Read more

A am reading an interesting book, “Praying Upside Down”, by Kelly Odell Stanley. She uses painting as a springboard for her writing, because her father is an artist. I’ve written in the past how I believe we should pray for strangers, even something as simple as “Bless her, Lord, she appears to be having a 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.
