This one is going to hit you right in the heart. I'm warning you now.
Paul was on his way to Jerusalem. He knew what was waiting for him there — prison, chains, hardship. The Holy Spirit had been telling him at every stop along the way: "Paul, suffering is coming." And Paul didn't flinch. Not once.
But before he got to Jerusalem, he made one important stop. He sent a message to the elders of the church in Ephesus — the leaders he had poured into for three years — and asked them to meet him at a place called Miletus.
This story comes from Acts and is part of the New Testament.
