As I have been thinking about “what’s next” after Easter, I came upon an article by Jessica Van Roekel, a Christian author whose emphasis is helping people heal from rejection through the transformative love of Jesus. Here is what she said about the Holy Spirit as a comforter; “At times, hope feels scarce. Jesus told us that in this world we would have troubles, but to take heart because he has overcome the world. By this, we know that our battles have been won and that we are more than conquerors. But what happens in the meantime? We have to live through our battles. Jesus overcoming the world doesn’t mean that life will be without injustices and disappointments. Our days need hope. The Holy Spirit is our source of hope in the times when hope is threadbare. The Holy Spirit comforts us with an overflowing of hope so that we can face our difficulties with faith.”

If there is anything that is produced after Easter, it should definitely be hope! We have hope to live an amazing life while here on earth. We have hope to overcome any and all hardships that arise. We have hope for eternity! The same power that rose Christ from the dead lives in us! May the Holy Spirit remind you of the foundation of our unwavering hope today!
