”I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.“ – Acts 20:23-24 NIV

Paul is not unaware of the challenges that he will face. Yet he faces them boldly because of God. He considers completing God’s missions and God’s plans for his life and other’s to be more important than his safety, comfort, and his own happiness. We need to have a mindset like Paul has, where we will face every trial and difficulty in pursuit of God, because we love God. Let us take courage and have peace knowing that one day we will be done with the hardships of life and have full satisfaction in death.
