I'm not sacrificing anything.
I don't know how, exactly, but I want to change that.
Sacrifice has new meaning for us as believers. Romans 12:1 says we are to be living sacrifices, and that it's our spiritual act of worship. This is pleasing to God. We should want to sacrifice for our God.
We have to give up our lives and continually give more than we have.
When you sacrifice that which cost you nothing, your sacrifice is greater than you can imagine.
What would the world - and the body of Christ - look like if we willingly sacrificed more in order to serve and please God, as well as serve others?
'For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints. And they did not do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us in keeping with God's will.'
[2 Corinthians 8:3-5]
