It takes a lot of work to be in relationship
with someone. I know that is probably a tactless
statement to make so close to Valentine’s Day, but I believe all relationships require
sacrifice. I also believe that this sacrificial
love has an incredible amount of power.
When we give of ourselves, for the sake of another, I believe we become
a part of something much bigger.
It’s amazing to watch my own little boy grow
up. It’s exhausting to chase him around
every day, but it is incredible to see him respond to our sacrifices with
love. I don’t really think he knows what
he is doing, but he is drawn to love. He
shows us his trust and affection and that is working miracles in my life. I would also argue that it is not just
children who have the power to do this.
I think all relationships can bring a glimpse the Kingdom of God.
This week we are talking about
forgiveness. Forgiveness can be incredibly
hard, and sometimes it’s all too easy to walk away instead of making that
sacrifice. Do you believe that we are
stronger as a church together? Today, I
hope we are all able to find a love that is worth making sacrifices for.
Blessings!
Brian
