DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Sacrificial Love
Romans 14:15
"Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died."
Love gives up rights and liberties for the good of someone else. Jesus taught the ultimate expression of love: "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends" (John 15:13). Then He put his money where His mouth was and gave up His own rights to die on a rugged cross. If Christ died for me and for my brother because of His great love for us, shouldn't I also be willing to deny myself some pleasure that is offensive to a brother? I will if I truly love him and care about his eternal salvation.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Just as Christ sacrificed His rights because He loved us, so we should we willing to give up our rights for others.
Have a "sacrificial" day. Love you.
