Romans 8:38–39 — “Nothing… will be able to separate us from the love of God.”
Opening Reflection: Love Shouts
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.

A few years ago, I fell in love with all the glass and mason jar projects on Pinterest. You could say I went slightly overboard-to the point of painting and decorating about forty jars. I mean once I got going, there was no stopping me. By the way, did you know mason jars even come Read more
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. A couple of weeks ago I found some adorable ornaments at Walmart and knew exactly what I was going to do with them. They each cost $2.00 a piece. The tray was from the Dollar Tree. I would share the color I used except it doesn’t exist Read more
A very Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I hope your day is wonderful. And I don’t mean to put a damper on your festivities but….. While you are offering up thanks, remember all the victims of the fires in California and the hurricane in Florida. Enough said. God bless each of you. Especially Read more
I’ve been under the weather a little and when I see this, it doesn’t help. In case you’re wondering, this is only about half of the boxes and doesn’t count the items stored on shelves in the basement, and the items I’ve already put out. Seriously, I have a lot of Christmas! I’m going to do a Read more
This was such an easy, quick DIY, I almost didn’t post it. But they turned out so cute, I couldn’t resist. I’ve had these small frames for I bet twenty years. I’ve almost taken them to Goodwill several times. But they’re small and square and I just knew that someday I would use them. I Read more
#wordsmatter We say it all the time. “Words matter” is not a new phrase. But we mean the “other” guy, the “other” political party. Not us. Over a week after the election, I’ve heard nothing but divisive speech. Liberals might as well say what they mean, “Now, we’re going to get him!” From the other Read more
