Love Worth Your Sacrifice We have been talking a lot about love and all that the act of loving entails. It is a major thing to life a life of the pursuit of love. To love the Lord with your all and to love others as much as you love yourself requires a great commitment and ultimately great sacrifice. That sacrifice will be born in each of you in a unique way. You are the only one that will be able to make the decision as to whether you will make the scarifice when it comes. Is the life you live worth the life you live?

This post made me think of one of my all-time favorite quotes. It comes from Jim Elliot, the famous missionary and martyr who died preaching the Gospel to the Waodani indian tribe. He said, "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose."
Oh, and I've officially been accepted into Asbury Theological Seminary!
I love that. "Is the life you live worth the life you live?" (Is what I stand for worth giving up the life I have? Is what I love worth sacrificing for? Is what I'm doing with my life worth living and dying for? What is the eternal value of the life I am living now?) That question can be interpreted in so many ways, but all of them mean for me, "am I living for God, or myself?" THANKS.
