Love is Sacrifice
We sacrifice to be loved. However, you are loved more than you ever can know.
Love is sacrifice.
Love is Pillar #4.
Hope is Pillar #1.
Faith is Pillar #5.
Joy is Pillar #2.
We all seek after love. There is a deep longing in our life to be loved.
To be sacrificed for.
And yet, we get it backwards.
We sacrifice to be loved.
We sacrifice standards to be loved.
You are loved more than you can ever imagine.
Mary birthed Jesus. Jesus, the One who was the Word who God used to bring the creation into existence. She birthed him. The same way every single baby ever was birthed.
God in flesh.
God so loved the world that he sent his Son.
Sent his Son through a birth canal.
Sent his Son through a farce trial.
Sent his Son through an excruciating death.
Sent his Son through the tomb.
All so you can know you are loved.
All so you can love through sacrifice because you are loved through sacrifice.
