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 have some news and a request. I am suspending the regular Saturday newsletter for a while. I didn’t realize it but most of you are getting my posts automatically via e-mail, so a newsletter seems redundant. However, I might send one out occasionally with news about book offers. Hopefully, I can figure out a Read more
Fun finds So, I had no idea what this first fun find was until my British friend told me. I guess women of past ages made this from a tea strainer. They would soak cotton balls in perfume and place them in the container and then put them somewhere where they could catch a whiff Read more
I told you I would show you pictures of our cabin bedroom. This is the only brand-new room I’ve ever had, except for the she-shed. The builder and I designed it, including the vaulted ceiling and the size and placement of the beams. The ceiling fan’s blades are beadboard. The items in the bedroom I Read more
TABLE OF CONTENTS Naysayers should not have open access to your life. Naysayers Jesus kicked out “removed” the naysayers in Matt 10:23 because they didn’t believe He could perform a miracle. Even Jesus knew that surrounding Himself with disbelievers and skeptics could only cast a negative atmosphere here. Could He had healed the young girl Read more
Envy and dissatisfaction can take the joy out of anyone’s life and make one miserable. Monday, I posted pictures of my cabin and she-shed and gave an example of how envy struck when I saw something bigger and better. Even as I write today, I am embarrassed to admit that. I have been truly blessed Read more
