The Sacrifices of Love

During the month of February and at Valentines day, everyone talks about love. Love is a dominate theme. Yet the love that we all talk about is different than the love God has for us.  We fall in and out of love with people or our love waivers when things go wrong but not God's love.  We are willing to make sacrifices for love but they are not the same sacrifices that God has made for us. We are willing to give up a habit, change jobs, move to a new city but would we make the sacrifice of our son's life? We all talk about love but do we practice love?  Do we love others like we would want to be loved or how God Loves us?  During this month of love, we should try and remember God's love for us.  That He loves us no matter what.  It's a love that does not fail, does not waiver, has no limits, is selfless yet can be uncomprehendable. We may not be able to always comprehend the vastness of God's love but we should know that it's always there and never changing.  

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:8

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16
