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.

Yesterday afternoon I was checking some of my voicemails on our landline phone. (Yes, we still have one in addition to our cell phones.) Wouldn’t you know, there was one from my mom. She died over a year ago. I wasn’t prepared to hear her voice. I felt like calling her right then as that was Read more
What???? What did I say? Stay with me as I explain, I’m pretty sure you’ll be on board once I’m through. First of all, it depends what we are talking about. If we are referring to family squabbles, relationship arguments, etc, then I agree that there might be two valid sides. But I would prefer Read more
My husband and I received a “blessing” a few years ago that prompted this post. I had just read this a few weeks prior from Oswald Chamber’s, My Utmost For His Highest. “Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love gift. Take time before God and offer the blessing Read more
I am reposting this from a number of years ago with some updates. I had only been blogging for about five months when I wrote this but I was expecting to be a big hit right off the bat. Periodically, I like to go back to the beginning and read some of my earliest posts Read more
This is my dining room as of now. I love the combination of wood tones with black and white. I painted the table and hutch nine years ago and have never been sorry. The two chairs at each end are from Wayfair. I was really nervous about ordering them but I’m glad I just bit Read more
Decorating a coffee table can be a nightmare for many people. Too much and it looks cluttered. The most helpful hint I have to offer is that if you are going to use a number of items, then have a container to “corral” them and keep them looking “intentional”… The coffee table has been Read more
