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.
Reflection Prompt:

You all know how much I love our “teeny-tiny red cabin”. I’m at such peace when I’m there. God seems to meet me there in a special way. (Or maybe it’s that I seek Him more. ) I’m perfectly happy with my seven hundred square feet. We added a bedroom three years ago but it’s Read more
I was looking through some old posts and realize I never posted this so I thought I would today. I did it a couple of years ago so the picture of the living room is not exactly as it appears now. Also, I don’t have a before picture. It had a dark finish. But had Read more
There are lots of bloggers who have listed what to buy at garage sales and thrift stores. I thought I would add my two cents. My number one item is always furniture. Even the most damaged piece, even that most awful colored piece, can become a treasure. A number of years ago I bought this Read more
I have shared how I’m writing a devotional book for Christians who struggle with depression. Originally, the book was going to be in a typical book format, not a daily devotional. So much of what was in that first book will not be included with the new format. But I got to thinking, I’ve already Read more
How is Covid-19 changing your life? Can anyone deny our lives have changed almost overnight? We have been told how to live our lives. Our children are no longer in school. We’re worried about our parents. People over sixty-five are being told they are basically useless in this crisis. They feel like a burden simply Read more
Psalms 139 states that God sees in the dark. More than that, it states that dark is actually light to God. “even the dark is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are the same to you.” I’ve been using a new (to me anyway), Bible study 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.
