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.

As you know I love garage sales and Goodwill. In fact it’s eight in the morning and I will be heading out shortly to track down some new treasures. A few years ago I found a brown “box”. I can’t remember exactly where I bought it but it had to be at one of the two places mentioned… Read more
Ok, how cute is this? Found this at Goodwill last night. Seven tin plates, eight saucers, one cup. What to do, what to? I’ve got some ideas. Thinking walls for the larger plates (about five inches) diameter. Maybe flattening saucers for possible mobile. Cup and saucer just really cute for change, etc. Or maybe it… Read more

At Teeney-Tiny Red Cabin for a few days. I’m busy painting (pictures, not walls, and oh, I forgot, furniture). My husband says I’m not happy if I don’t have a paint can in my hand. 🙂 Getting ready to head to local Goodwill store. Hoping to find some “treasures”. But here’s one I found at… Read more
