Sacrifice is not a word that we toss around that often, at least I don't. Why is that? What does it mean? What things come into your mind when you do hear this word?
There are many words we can think of when hearing this word. Some we like, and some we don't. Sacrifice is not exactly at the top of our "To do list". Infact it is ususally at the bottom. Why is that? Why don't we like this idea of sacrifice? What is it about it that puts a sour taste in our mouth? If you think about it, there is no way you can go through life without sacrifice. It is something that has to happen. So might as well try to enjoy it.
As a follower of Jesus Christ it is necessary to make a lot of sacrifices, it just happens. God asks you to do something for Him, you know that it will cost you a lot, but you have to do it anyway. Out of obedience and respect you must obey. It may cost you something big, or something small. It may cause you to move away from home, friends, and family. But the thing you need to remember is, God will be with you. Through the hardship, through the sacrifice, He will always be there for you. Never forget that. I does not matter how much you have to sacrifice for God, it will be worth it. Trust me, I know.
My family and I have had to sacrifice a lot in the last year, starting with leaving everything behind to come to Mexico. Many things have been really hard for us here, and at times horrible for me. But God has not left us, He is right here helping us with every step we take. Guiding us through the darkness and showing us the way. Always there to catch us when we fall. But remember that sometimes we need to fall, but after you do your heavenly Father will pick you up, brush off the dust, and heal the scars.
Sacrifice, do it with joy and God will reward you.
