A sacrifice is something one gives that costs them greatLy but returns something even better.
Ancients wouLd sacrifice animaLs to their gods in return for a strong rain or heaLthy harvest.
Christians are required to give 10% of their income as a tithe…
Most who sacrifice do it wiLLingLy in exchange for some thing or some situation they beLieve wiLL improve their Lives…
Yeah,, we do it in order to get a better Life..

I had the reaLization that He was hanging from that cross because of the sins I did and wouLd do in my Lifetime..
I reaLized that it was me that pounded those naiLs into His hands, and offered my saviour’s Life to the Lord for redemption of mu own Life..

Sacrifice..
When you become a servant, you aLways give up something you couLd have kept for yourseLf… Time,, money,, energy…
But the greatest cost of aLL is yourseLf…
In 2 Corinthians 6:1-10 described the price PauL paid for serving others..

Sacrifice is reaLLy sacrifice… It is hard to give up something…
It’s especiaLLy hard to give up something you Love, which is good, for something better…

Sacrifice is absoLuteLy essentiaL to happiness...
You have dreams and ambitions, perhaps dreams you’ve had since your chiLdhood.
In order to make those dreams a reaLity, you must sacrifice something.
You must sacrifice your time and your energy to make it happen.
Maybe it means you shouldn’t go shopping 3 times a week, or watch so much movies, or eat ice cream, or go to the gym as often as you do.
Are those things bad ? I do not think that those things are inherentLy bad…
But if other good things are keeping you from reaLizing your dreams, are those things bad to you?
Are they things you must give up?
Is that hard?

Go and say thanks to someone who has done something for you…
Someone who sacrificed their time and energy that your Life might be what it is today... ^^
