What is love- The cost of giving


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: What is Love – The Cost of Giving

What is love if not costly? Real love demands sacrifice that can’t be found in self-centeredness. You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.
Sacrificial love requires that we give what we value most: our hearts, minds, souls, and strength. Real love does not always follow our natural inclinations; it is not an impulse from feelings.

Love can only be understood from the actions it prompts. When we bear with the failings and weaknesses of others, divine love reveals itself (Ephesians 4:2).

At all costs, this love compels us to give so that we alleviate the suffering of others. Instead of seeking to fulfill our emotional and physical needs (receiving), we humbly give of ourselves (1 Peter 3:8–9).
As you go out today, it is good and loving to find someone in need you can share what you have with and not always look forward to receive. Love is sacrificing.

LET US PRAY
FATHER , HELP ME TO SHARE GODLY LOVE WITH OTHERS IN NEED IN JESUS NAME

Share this meal
Good morning friends
