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.

I love it when God shows up in such unexpected and encouraging ways. If you read Wednesday’s post, you know how I’m excited I am to be able to add some e-books to my blog. It’s been in the process for a while now and I even have the use of a professional editor (My Read more
Well, my SIBO is just not getting better. I feel like a lump. I haven’t accomplished a thing all day except for this: I was determined to figure out how to design a meme using a computer graphics program. Yea, I figured it out and for me that feels like an “atta girl” from God. Read more
This is a landmark day for me today. Hopefully, you are going to see a downloadable link to a PDF file you can print off. It has taken me a number of hours and some great help from WP to get this working. Hopefully, you are not seeing a weird message as well. Please let Read more
This picture is the table where I am sitting and writing this post. The picture was taken at night. Isn’t it great how the cut-outs in the hanging light fixture reflect on the mini-blinds? I had my husband build open shelves on all the walls. The one in the picture is my “pantry.” I wrote Read more
Perhaps the better question is, “Why does God speak to us”. But He does and we should all consider that a blessing beyond all blessings. As a child, Samuel heard God call his name. He thought it was Eli. But it was God. Can you even imagine? But God speaks to us now as well, Read more
I love it when bloggers show the upgrades to their tiny bathrooms. I just about howl. There is tiny and then there is tiny. My bathroom is tiny. This picture below shows the size of this bathroom the best. Do you see the hint of the tub on the left? Now, look at the floor 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.
