—John 10:11-18
by: Paula Davis.
Laying down our will to follow God’s can sometimes feel like we are giving up a lot for Him. We may sacrifice time or money or comfort at times; other times we lay aside a deep desire of our heart in order to bring ourselves in line with His will. Sometimes there is nothing wrong with theses desires, other than the fact that they are not in line with God’s will for us. However, no sacrifice we will ever make will equal the sacrifice Jesus made by following His Father’s will. As we follow the example of Jesus, we will see our sacrifices as acts of love. And we will find ourselves growing closer to Jesus and loving others more like He loves them.
