Who sacrifices for his partner, does things for the other person that require an immense personal cost. We talk about emotional, economic, time and even health resources. Likewise, this delivery is often produced through an unequal exchange. That is, there is one that invests much more than the other party.
Suffering is not loving, therefore, sacrificing is not love.
Despite believing that we do it out of love, in reality, sacrifice is not necessary nor part of unconditional love. To love means to seek the welfare of the loved one. If our partner is happy, she feels fulfilled and excited, her well-being must have an impact on us.
Now, in most cases, we sacrifice ourselves for the other, to avoid negative consequences, such as an angry partner, a disappointment or waiting for approval of our actions on the other hand.
We must have it clear, we can not call love to this link. In fact, these relational dynamics will generate emotional dependence.
That is, they are relationships based on the need to please and the search for approval, and therefore, we would do anything to achieve it, such as suffering for love, sacrificing ourselves for the other.
ACCORDING TO CHRIST:
LOVE IS MORE THAN TO WANT TO RECEIVE FROM ANOTHER PERSON, LOVE IS DELIVERY, IT IS A FEELING THAT IS NOT SELFISH THAT GIVES IT EVERYTHING, FOR SOMEONE TO BE HAPPY.
I can assure you that in the world there are people who love each other and are not together, but neither life, nor years, nor circumstances can end that love, love comes from God, is its essence.
SACRIFICE OF LOVE
The greatest love story that has been told, where if you want, you can be a protagonist.
There is a love story, the greatest that has been told. It is a story of surrender, but also of sacrifice, of the greatest sacrifice that can be made by those who love you, and you will be willing to reciprocate? Love, with love is paid. Jesus gave himself, made sacrifice for love. How do women need to rediscover the divine meaning of sacrifice!
"But God shows his love for us in this: that when we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5: 8 NIV)
"THERE IS NO GREAT LOVE"
With that detail, I understood the immensity of God's love for me. The red rose symbolizes the knight who truly conquered my heart and nails, made me see what He was willing to do for me.
God showed us his love through sacrifice. The famous statement of Jesus in John 3.16 is the best expression of this kind of love.
God allowed the suffering and death of his only Son so that you and I would experience abundant life here on Earth and eternal life with God. When I look at the cross, I remember the sacrifice of Christ who gave himself to show his love for me.
His love was not mere words, it was a sacrifice that produced eternal consequences. If you were the last person in the world to need God's salvation, Jesus would have come to die on the cross just for you.
Do we respond correctly to your love sacrifice? Do we humble ourselves, receive Christ as our Lord daily, offer praise and thanksgiving for his enormous sacrifice?
We should never love God because of a feeling of responsibility, we should love him as an answer to what he did for us.
The next time you observe the cross, stop and offer God your sincere thanks for your sacrifice of love.
At birth, octopus hatchlings are only 0.3 cm tall, their arms have only three suckers. With the help of a microscope and thanks to its transparency you can see the joint movement of its three hearts pumping blood to its gelatinous body.
The mother has busily taken care of the laying. Enclosed in a small cave whose roof hung bunches of eggs, has spent the last 3 months of his life to clean them and keep them aired. The female never left the setting, not even to go in search of food.
It dies by exhaustion when the eggs hatch. Despite their efforts, only ten percent of the 100,000 eggs that made up the laying will hatch. At the time of hatching, a cloud of 10,000 tiny transparent pulpits surrounds the female's body.
Scientists agree that the first foods of these young are, generally, fish larvae. But is it casual that the mother dies at the exact moment of hatching? Not a minute before, not a minute later? His life exhausted by the effort and lack of food found the end just at that exact moment just for the sake of it. Will your protein-rich body be abandoned to predators while a cloud of offspring desperately seeks food?
It is still believed that it is possible that the first food of these small octopuses is the body of their own mother.
Is that self-sacrifice for love?
TRUE LOVE WILL ALWAYS PAY A PRICE, AND THE BRAVE ARE WILLING TO PAY IT.
The word says:
Love is patient, it is kind. Love is not envious or boastful or proud. He does not behave rudely, he is not selfish, he does not get angry easily, he does not hold a grudge.
1 Corinthians 13: 4-5
If today you are going through a crisis, do not give up just God has the last word, and he will give us according to the requests of our heart.Most people believe that love is only our selfish desires to possess, and it is not, love is true, and it is inside us.
Give your life for me, is proof of your love that I can ask more
if you gave everything there. You came to your death you suffered, you cried but gave everything for love.
It was a sacrifice of love
The greatest sacrifice of love was made by Jesus, a surrender without anything in return, for this reason Jesus is the greatest example to humanity of the essence of love.
The love of God covers everything @darlenys01- Good teaching.
Good teaching about the greatest sacrifice of love, for our beloved savior @darlenys01.
God bless you
Love is the motor that moves the world, for love our Jesus was sacrificed as a genuine example of his eternal love for humanity, and it is that kind of love that fills us with hope.
Nice message @darlenys01.
@darlenys01, we have lived in our own flesh the flow of that love, how grateful for that flow of tenderness, in each trial and battle, when all have left, he is still there.
What a great love my lord's!
I have broken with this message @darlenys01, how much we suffer for love, the good thing is that that love is not given by Jesus, he is all that we lack, it is who fills the emptiness of the heart.
The message and the song are beautiful, and much to reflect on, true love, the love of Christ.
That song is beautiful and also nostalgic, God gives us the opportunity to love without measure.
I love that song, the message to reflect.
