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 watched one of my favorite movies last night, “Age of Innocence”. It’s based on the book by Edith Wharton. Another favorite movie by the same author is “Ethan Frome”. If you ever get a chance, you should really see these movies. But I digress. As I was watching the movie, I couldn’t but think… Read more
(These pictures are not good but you’ll get the point.) I think it’s great when you see someone fulfill a dream. I had that experience recently. It inspired me to finish something I started years ago. So here’s the story. My daughter-in-law was asked by a local business to run for Ms. Asparagus Queen. Hart,… Read more
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
