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.

The week began with a post about how to avoid strongholds in our life. Boy, there sure are some, aren’t there? I’m a small woman. Not super thin, but a size six or eight at the most. But food has been a “go to” for me, a stronghold, whenever I’ve needed to soothe myself, even Read more
Remember I said I was going to spend time on me? I did. I spent time this past week-end with some of my favorite people. Being around people we love is always good for the soul. but so many times we let life weight us down us with the “have-to’s” never realizing that spending time with Read more

(I’m using the new posting method and accidentally hit “publish” but then a cool little button came up that said “revert to draft” so I hit that. Don’t know if it worked or not.

The last part of this week took a down-turn. I’m hoping by the time you read this, I won’t feel like I’m carrying a bowling ball in my gut. However, the week didn’t start off bad because I wrote some good “stuff” about humility on Monday and Tuesday. (I liked it anyway :)) Wednesday I tempted you by writing Read more
