Let us be selfless in our actions and deeds, always looking for opportunities to establish our foundation in Christ by doing for others

Laying Down Your Life

What are you willing to sacrifice for others? We all know that God gave His only Son so that you and I might live. Today’s message reminds us, “Sacrifice, by its very definition, is the ability to place another's needs before your own—to continue pouring out, even when you're tapped out. Every instance you give of your time, energy, or resources to care for a loved one in need, you demonstrate your willingness to lay down your life. You're expressing the heart of God.” This is the sacrificial love we are able to give and should strive to exemplify to others. Let us work to do so in love for Jesus is love and love is the one thing that we can give freely and unconditionally.

John 15:13 reads, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

Let us look for opportunities to put the needs of others first, for that is what Christ always does with us.

Small Straws Scripture: Matthew 7:24-25 Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

Let us assure we have a firm foundation for our lives built upon Christ’s Words and ways.

Youversion Verses for the Day: Luke 4:18-19

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

‭‭Like Jesus, let us seek opportunities to tell kf the goodness of God.

Let us be selfless in our actions and deeds, always looking for opportunities to establish our foundation in Christ by doing for others, my friend.🙏🏽💚🦋🌈
