Have you ever found yourself saying, “Well, I had hoped ...” ?
In this Super Short Thought, filmed on the Towy Valley cycle path beneath Paxton’s Tower, we step into one of the most quietly devastating moments in the Easter story - when hope collapses into disappointment.
Two disciples walk away from Jerusalem, away from everything they thought God was doing.
“We had hoped…” (Luke 24:21)
But here’s the twist:
It’s already the morning of the resurrection.
The tomb is empty.
God is at work.
They just can’t see it.
This short reflection explores a powerful question:
What if we're in a similar situation where God hasn’t failed … but we’ve missed or misunderstood completely what it is that He’s doing?
And more than that - what if, like those disciples, Jesus is already walking with you … even in your disappointment, but you haven't noticed?
🔍 This all speaks to:
- Disappointment with God
- When prayers seem unanswered
- Faith in confusion and doubt
- Resurrection hope in real life
