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.

OK, so today I’m running to Hobby Lobby. Eighty percent off decorative items. I try to always hit this sale for birthday presents for friends and family. But today, instead of bumming around in capris and a t-shirt I’ve decided to wear a skirt. I mean, why do I have these cute skirts and summer Read more
I love rocks. Or maybe they’re stones. If you really want to know the difference, you can look it up here. The upshot is this: All rocks are stones but not all stones are rocks.” Hmmm. For me, rocks have hard and rough surfaces while stones are smooth. I love collecting “stones” of all sizes. I’m Read more
Ok, I went to the mother of all estate sales over the weekend. And not necessarily in a good way. Never in all my years of estate sale shopping have I seen such a mass array of “stuff”. I felt sorry for whoever had lived there. It was that bad. The humidity was sky-high so Read more
This was written by my daughter. Her son, my grandson, has Down syndrome. The point she makes can be made for anyone. None of us learn a new skill by emulating someone at the same level as us. This applies to everyone. I’m so proud that she and her husband stuck to their guns. They Read more
Thank goodness I don’t ever have to try this. I don’t like heights anyway and I’m not that sure-footed either. Right now I do feel like I’m walking on a tightrope. I find myself trying to keep really busy just putting one foot squarely in front of each other on that rope so as not to Read more
