Sacrifice is Worth It

I watched The Guardian tonight. For those of you who are not familiar with the name; it is a film about Coast Guard rescue swimmers and the sacrifices they make, sometimes even their own lives, in order that others may live. It resonated well with a theme that has been on my mind the last month. Sacrifice is all about making choices (often painful ones), that mean giving up something meaningful so that others may receive that which was previously unobtainable.

The perfect example of this is the picture of Christ, hanging from the cross, suffering and dying for our sins, so that we might gain life eternal. There is a verse in the New Testament that I will post later, (once I find it), =) that talks about being His ambassadors on earth and letting Him shine His light through us.

A life lived for others, for a noble purpose, is a life worth living. We are called to a life of sacrifice, in every aspect of our lives; this is our mission on earth.

So that others may live.
