Sacrificial Love

So yesterday I'm sitting in my dorm, watching some bachelor, and talking to my wonderfully amazing girlfriend:) During our conversation, she asks me, how would I feel about packing up my life after college and doing mission work. My first response was that I would be extremely scared but if if prayed about a lot and it's where God wanted me then yes. Then I began to think more and more about it as I went to bed. The first thing that came to my mind was this idea of sacrificial love. I'm not talking about sacrificial love for a friend, significant other, etc. I'm talking about a sacrificial love for God. For me to pack up my entire life and do mission work for a few months before starting my life would take a huge amount of sacrifice. You would have to sacrifice everything you knew to be true in your life like family, friends, or school to go serve the Lord. There's a point in every relationship we have on this planet where we learn to have sacrificial love for each other. That's the biggest and most important aspect of our relationship with Christ. His sacrificial love for us was put into huge affect the day he sacrificed his life for our sins. That's the kind of sacrificial love I'm talking about. His love for us was so strong, deep, and eternal that he sacrificed his body for us. It's one of the greatest feeling to reach that point in any relationship, where you know that you would sacrifice anything for that person. Following the Lord is all about sacrificing and surrendering our life to him. We just have to trust in him and know that wherever we go and whatever we do, God will always provide for us and will always be right there beside us!!!!!
