Would You Give Your Life?

True love will risk anything, even risking life for love. When you truly love someone or something, you'll give your everything for it. You'll die fighting for it, for what you believe. Think Martin Luther King Jr, think Romeo and Juliet, think Abraham Lincoln, think John Wesley. What is your passion? What do you love so much you would risk your life? So what is that for me? What am I willing to sacrifice everything for?

Your love could be family or friend. A husband, maybe his wife is what he would give his life for. Maybe for a Pastor it's his Church or his Church family. A parent, their child. An addict alcohol or drugs, maybe even money to attain either. Sometimes we will risk the very things we thought we loved for what we lust after.

I live in the United States and most likely will not have to give my life today, or tomorrow, that situation may arise but it's not a likely occurrence. But what am I giving my life for? What am I willing to give my time and passion for? Am I sitting by watching others give and never giving? How can I do more with this short life we live?

So the question is; what am I truly willing to give my life for? Would I really lay down for the cause I say I live my life for daily? Will I really live my life displaying the things I say with my mouth across my heart or more so across my life? Am I living daily laying down me for something greater?

Am I willing to give my life for something? For my family…friend…job…more so, for Jesus? You never know how much you love something, until you are willing to risk everything for it.

John 15:13; "No greater love has a man than he lay down his life for a friend."
