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.

This picture is the table where I am sitting and writing this post. The picture was taken at night. Isn’t it great how the cut-outs in the hanging light fixture reflect on the mini-blinds? I had my husband build open shelves on all the walls. The one in the picture is my “pantry.” I wrote… Read more
Perhaps the better question is, “Why does God speak to us”. But He does and we should all consider that a blessing beyond all blessings. As a child, Samuel heard God call his name. He thought it was Eli. But it was God. Can you even imagine? But God speaks to us now as well,… Read more
I love it when bloggers show the upgrades to their tiny bathrooms. I just about howl. There is tiny and then there is tiny. My bathroom is tiny. This picture below shows the size of this bathroom the best. Do you see the hint of the tub on the left? Now, look at the floor… Read more
I was reading Proverbs 27 today and I read these verses. I’ve read them often, but today they kind of stood out for me. “Wrath is fierce and anger is a flood, but who can stand against jealousy?” Proverbs 27: 3, 4 When you think about it, jealousy is most often the forerunner for anger… Read more
This past Christmas, I painted my daughter this picture of an old abandoned church. I wish I had started it much sooner as there were some things I would have done differently. She loves old buildings, barns, churches, etc. She loved it. She said looking at it made her feel peaceful. As I was painting… Read more
