Sacrifice

I am blessed with a godly wife. She is willing to do so much for our family. She is definitely a mother any child would want; I am truly blessed. She doesn't just talk about sacrificial love, as a matter of fact, she doesn't talk about it at all. What she does is exemplifies sacrifice.

Another example of this type of sacrifice that I have seen lately is my brother-in-law. My sister broke her ankle, a really bad break, with pins and screws. She will be unable to put any weight on it for a while. I was talking to her last night, asking how things were going and how her husband was doing. She said that he is good, just working, and he has even more to do when he gets home with me unable to do much. You know what he said when she told me this? "Each day is a blessing."

Today's word is 1 Corinthians 13:3, ESV, which reads, "If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing."

It's not about the sacrifice; it's about why the sacrifice. It doesn't matter how much you give; it matters how you give. It doesn't matter how much you say you are willing to do; it matters how much you actually do. It's not a matter of the doing; it's a matter of the heart.

I am grateful for the blessings that GOD has bestowed upon me. May I always be willing to LOVINGLY sacrifice.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
