Acts 21:13, NIV

People were weeping when they heard that Paul would go back to Jerusalem. But even if they don’t want Paul to go, he is so decided to proceed to His plans. In fact, He is willing to die in the name of our Lord Jesus. He is willing to sacrifice His life just to glorify our Savior. Paul already knew that following Him was not easy, but He took the risk and let go of His fears simply because He knew that the God who is with Him is greater than the persecutions that He will experience. May Paul’s life remind us that following Jesus is not easy, but it’s worth it in the end.

I pray that you will have courage like Paul, especially when you go through challenges and persecutions.
