The Sacrifice of Love

LOVE IS FULL OF PARADOXES.  Yeah, it is "longsuffering and is kind;" but it most importantly "endures all things" for "Love never fails."  I believe love can be summarized in a word: sacrifice. A loving sacrifice is tough, especially when it is your "only begotten Son," but sometimes, it is simply inevitable.

It can be very tough willingly enduring a hardship to do what you know is best.  I take solace in Him, knowing He felt the same when He prayed in the garden.  We can pray for the cup to pass, but if He wills it, we must drink it.
