Love & Sacrifice

 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 (NKJV)

God gave us  one the  best examples that love  sometimes  means  sacrifice.  Through  God's love for us  He gave us  Jesus and   through  Jesus'  love for  us He gave His life on the cross.  So  we   now   have everlasting life and  our sins  are covered.  Within our own relationships we   must be willing to  see beyond our own needs and learn to  be  willing  give our time,  attention, love and resources to  maintain  balanced relationships. If you're only  seeking to solely  have  your needs met then you're missing the full  picture of what love is.

I understand that some are put off by the word  sacrifice so let's  shift your  perception.  To experience  love  through sacrifice means  you're  proactive about serving  others,  you make yourself   available when there is  a need even if that means  moving some things around in your schedule and lastly giving without  expectation of receiving  something back in  return. When you walk these things out you  may not get the response that you think you deserve but  don't allow that to  harden your heart. Know that  God see's  the work you're doing and He will reward your efforts.


Love,
