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.

Took me long enough, huh? I won’t apologize. Covid-19 threw a wrench into everything, didn’t it? I had to decide. Would I post this first e-book at a time like this? But as I thought about it, I thought, this might just be the perfect time. We are cloistered in our homes. We can’t be Read more
I found this at James Clear.com. I wanted to share it with you on this Saturday morning. I hope your day goes well. An excerpt from the poem “Youth” by Samuel Ullman, a Jewish poet: “Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red Read more
“Today was a Difficult Day,” said Pooh. There was a pause. “Do you want to talk about it?” asked Piglet.” No,” said Pooh after a bit. “No, I don’t think I do.” “That’s okay,” said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend. “What are you doing?” asked Pooh. “Nothing, really,” said Piglet. “Only, Read more
(I found this in my draft file. I just love this. The truth? I don’t know if I wrote it or not. I hope I did. But if I had I think I would have posted it right away. I wish I knew the author. If you do, let me know. Enjoy it anyway, whoever Read more
(Last year at this time, we were refinishing our basement. This post is from then.) We are remodeling our basement. Not an expensive remodel and except for the ceiling, we’ve done it all ourselves. Even at that, it cost enough. I needed a new chair for a table in the basement. I decided to use Read more
I was so hoping I’d be publishing my e-book today. But my computer, or me, or the evil forces out there, are really messing with my mind today. It’s nothing I haven’t done before but the computer is just not listening to me this time. I’m wondering if it’s because all the activity now is 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.
