Resurrection Hope!

Last month we had a fabulous Fitfish retreat! God, the guests, the team, the sessions, the food, the weather, it was all amazing!! Thank you Lord!

Fitfish Claire spoke to us with great wisdom about hope, and I wanted to share a few reflections on what she shared here:

Hope is essential, especially in times of uncertainty and hardship. While we often think of hope as a feeling or wishful thinking, it’s actually a mindset, a belief that a better future is possible. It’s about trusting in something greater than ourselves and staying engaged, even when the path forward is unclear.

In the Bible, hope is closely tied to the resurrection of Jesus. After His death, Peter, feeling disqualified due to his denial of Jesus, returned to his old fishing life. But in a powerful moment, Jesus showed up, reminded Peter of his purpose, and reinstated him. This is the essence of resurrection hope: no matter how far we’ve fallen, God’s love can restore us and give us a new sense of purpose.

Jesus’ resurrection is not just a past event, it’s a present reality that empowers us to live with hope today. Even when life feels overwhelming, resurrection hope calls us to remember that we are never too far gone for restoration.

As we face the challenges of our world, may we hold onto the certainty of resurrection hope, knowing that Jesus is with us, always ready to renew and restore.

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for the resurrection hope You offer. Help us to live with faith, trusting that no matter how dark life gets, Your love will always lead us to a brighter future. In Jesus' name, Amen.
