When we live rooted in love, giving comes naturally. We are willing to help someone who may need it, to offer our shoulders and our hands, to set aside time to just listen to someone cry, to be there in a world that doesn’t always show up.
When we live rooted in love, we sacrifice. And not in the sense of losing ourselves, but in gaining—strength, connection, value, relationships, clarity, depth. We show people what it means to really live like Jesus. We show people how the world changes dramatically when others are selfless, when love comes first.
When we live rooted in love, it becomes less about us and more about what the purpose of this life is—to care about others, to care about our time here, to give back, to share Jesus, to be Jesus in a broken world.
When we’re rooted in love, the trajectory of our lives completely changes. Because we have meaning. Because we have purpose. Because we realize what matters is not our money, our material possessions, our status, our homes, our cars, our goals, but the legacy we leave in caring about the people around us.
I could not agree more with this piece, especially the final stanza. Where I would be without the love I've been shown and blessed with, I do not know. Love has saved me in ways no other thing can.
