The Ability to Sacrifice Because of Love

If your Foundation is built on someone else, you'll sacrifice to earn their love. If your Foundation is Jesus, you'll sacrifice because his love makes you strong.

Love is sacrifice.

God put the desire to be loved inside of us.

When Jesus is your foundation, your Hope and Faith are in his Love. And you put your Hope and Faith in those who will Love you through sacrifice.

And when a human lets you down, it hurts, but your world does not crumble down because your Foundation and load bearing Pillars are still strong.

When your Foundation is built upon a human Love, you will sacrifice yourself for their love. And when their love disappoints (because everyone’s does), your world will come crumbling down.

As church leaders, your own Hear & Follow relationship is vital. You are able to sacrifice, not for someone else’s love, but because Christ is your Foundation his love makes you strong.

Because Christ first loved you by being a Baby in a manger, you are willing to first love others who do not love you back.

This is sacrifice.
