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.

I’m kidding, of course. I don’t believe in ghosts. But my grandson does think our house is “spooky”. Actually, when my husband was traveling a lot, my friends would ask me if I was afraid to be alone in this house. I never have been. Maybe that says something about me, that maybe I’m not Read more
Have you ever been there? I mean feeling guilty about feeling good? I’m kind of there now. My mom hasn’t even been gone a month and I have had some moments of well-being and peace this last week. I feel kind of guilty about it. We were at “teeny tiny red cabin” over the weekend Read more
So I was in Arkansas last week. I told you why I needed to escape here. Anyway, I also told you how my cousin and I hit some carport sales. (That’s what they call them in the south.) Anyway, I found these @ Goodwill and they were half-price and I already had two at home Read more
What is it with some people that they can’t admit they’re wrong? Especially when there’s no need not to. For example, let’s say you show someone an object that is clearly black and they argue that it’s white. What would you think? Well, I had such an experience with my local librarian. I went to check out a Read more
The Excitement Remember my post yesterday when I shared about this wonderful watercolor painting I found? It was painted by the artist, Ranulph Bye. I decided to check it out online and found out I was right to think this was painted by a professional artist, one whose paintings have some serious value. Bye’s paintings sell Read more
Thought I should get this out first thing. I was messing around with some WordPress “tweeks” yesterday and clicked on something that notified all of you when I changed a post. I didn’t realize how that exactly worked. I have since corrected. Please accept my apology for filling your mailbox with “all that”. God Read more
