Love/Hateনমুনা

The greatest expression of love ever known was Jesus willingly giving up His life for us. It was the biggest sacrifice and a reminder that love isn’t easy. Real love requires something of us. It costs us something. Maybe it’s time, or money, or your interests for the sake of someone else’s. Maybe it’s a change in your opinion or schedule. 

Whatever it may be, as Jesus modeled for us when He willingly died to demonstrate how BIG God’s love is for us, real love often requires us to give up or set aside something of our own for the sake of someone else. It isn’t always easy, but every time we make sacrifices in the name of love, we can remember the sacrifice Jesus made for all of us and let that motivate us to keep moving in the direction of love. This week, find a way to love a friend in your life. Whatever it takes, show them that you care!
