More Thoughts On Love
It was Sunday evening and we were on our way home from Indiana. As it was that time, we drove thru the drive thru. Yum, hot fries! I handed the box to the brother of mine and pulled out the other box for myself. But they just weren't very warm, and I had given away the best fries. I was lamenting this fact within myself when the thought struck me. Why did I want the best fries? If I truly loved the brother of mine wouldn't I want him to have the best fries? Are you the person who takes the piece of cake right from the middle and lets the dryer outside pieces for everyone else? I realize that these are silly little examples of love, but if we can't give up the best fries, how are we ever going to be able to give our life for our friend? And these are the very words of Jesus: He that is faithful in least, is faithful also in much. I encourage you to give up the best for others in love.

At Bible School a comment was made that: when we say "I love you" to someone, what we should really mean is "I would die in your place-for your!" I thought that was pretty profound, and that goes with Jesus' words in John 15 "greater love hath no man than this...". And if we really love someone enough that we would sacrifice our life for theirs then what's a box of hot fries in comparison? =) Good thoughts Lanta!
