84 Days Of Soaring
WEEK NINE – CALLING
DAY 60 – With Tears
Where To Start
Read Acts 20:25-38 and then watch the DAY SIXTY video.
They all wept as they embraced him and kissed him.
DEVOTIONAL
WEEK 9 – CALLING
DAY SIXTY
When you love someone, it is not easy to say goodbye. Paul was deeply connected to the people in Ephesus because he served Jesus and them with all his heart.
The relationship was mutual. It’s how life and ministry are designed to be. We love because Jesus first loved us. We don’t play it safe with our hearts or in a church.
We are discerning, but we take relationship risks.
The bond continued as Paul left, but the location changed. These followers of Jesus knew they would spend an eternity together, but that truth doesn’t take away the pain.
They knew that their time on earth together was ending. They wept and embraced with final hugs. Those are difficult moments. We are not ministry robots; we are human.
You can have hope and grieve at the same time. Continue to abide with Jesus and trust God.
Other people don’t belong to us; they belong to God. Enter into community like Jesus, with devotion and emotion. Close relationships include tears. Independence and isolation are not where hope resides.
Just Choose Hope
HOPE POINT
Walk closely with people, life on life, with open hearts.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
What is Paul’s warning to the Ephesians?
How closely are you doing ministry with other people?
What moves your heart?
PRAYER
Gracious God, every day is a gift from You. Thank You for everyone we are able to partner with in ministry. We cannot do it alone. We need each other. Forgive us for choosing isolation and independence. Love includes relationship risks and faith. We are united in Your hope and love, Jesus. Amen.
