What Manner Of Love Is This "And everyone who has left houses or
brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My
name's sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit
eternal life." - Matthew 19:29 (NASB) Sacrificial love is about
work, not play, it's about becoming a servant, not a hero. Jesus
said, "Whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your
servant," (Mark 10:43). You can give without loving, but you can't
love without giving. Real fulfillment can't be found in
self-centeredness. One Christian leader writes: "When I set about
the task of loving, I usually end up giving instead of receiving.
Love inevitably costs me three commodities that are most precious:
my time, my energy and my money. I don't part with these easily
because I have them in limited quantities. It's time to strip away
the false glamour that the world (and sometimes the church) puts on
loving, and tell the truth: true love is sacrificial." A wise woman
once said, "When I get up each morning, I remind myself that today
I may be called upon to give more love, more care and more patience
than I get back. In times of sickness and hardship, it seems that
I'm required to do this for weeks or months on end. But when it's
my turn and I'm the person in need, God gives it back, either
through my family or someone else. And it always comes back in an
amount equal to my need." Peter wondered if it was all worthwhile
when he asked Jesus, "'We have left everything and followed You.
What do we get out of it?' Jesus replied, 'And everyone who has
left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children
or farms for My name's sake, will receive many times as much, and
will inherit eternal life.'" Furthermore, "For God is not unfair.
He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you
have shown your love to him by caring for other Christians"
(Hebrews 6:10). This kind of love may cost you, but gives back so
much more.
