Today is a longer passage of Scripture, so we will have a shorter devotion. Paul brought together the elders of the church in Ephesus so that he could say goodbye. And it is in that goodbye that we realize the connection and community that Paul and the church in Ephesus had. They knew they would never see one another again, and that caused great emotion for everyone involved. But even in this time of great emotion, they kept their focus on God and prayed for one another in this final farewell.


Farewells and goodbyes are the hard part about building a strong community with one another. It’s easier to move along when you have no connections. But when you take the time to become part of one another’s lives, goodbyes become difficult. But this is the way it should be. A strong, productive community means hard, difficult goodbyes, but the time you have with one another is worth the hard goodbye.
