Can you imagine what it must have been like for Jesus' friends the day after the first Easter? Death has lost it's sting. The despair of a promise destroyed replaced with the hope of a future you never imagined possible.
Mystery, questions, uncertainty still abound but the hope of the truth of Christ brings an anchor to our rocking boat. We may not know with certainty what today or tomorrow may bring. We may not have assurance that our plans will come out as we have planned. But the 'plan' is not what we pin our hopes to. He has proven He is God and He has proven He loves US. Rest there a moment.
He loves you.
So if today brings calamity or if our plans end in what we see as failure the truth does not change.

He loves me.
He is with me and He has not failed.
This is what I believe and it is the hope I cling to when the sun shines and when the night is dark. Easter has proven it.
I pray we are filled with the supernatural Hope that Christ has given us. I pray our mind is anchored to the Truth that His resurrection has assured. I pray we believe He loves us because what we believe is what we live. And to Him who is eternal be glory and honor forever. Amen.
"And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." Romans 5:5
