Reflection for June 1, 2025

The promise endures

Ascension Sunday reminds us that even amid life’s letdowns, God’s Word is full of hope

by Renae Bauer

Inevitably, there are disappointments in life. Maybe it’s a broken promise or less-than-truthful words from someone we respect or love. Perhaps we can look at these human failings and remember we are just that – human.

These occasional disappointments stand in stark contrast to God’s promises, which are the highlight of Ascension Sunday. God’s Kingdom is promised. The help of the Holy Spirit is promised. Jesus’ enduring presence is promised. Redemption is promised. Hope is promised.

As you look at this image, which promise are you reminded of? As Easter people, we have many promises to be joyful about.

Renae: Your reflection was short, but very much on point. We are all Humans...and Humans make mistakes. God is forgiving, and so should we. Love the Pix. Thanks for sharing:)
