Living and dying

If we really live out I John 3:16, then sometimes living out our love could be more difficult than dying for someone we love. Loving like Jesus did is really hard. In my world where time, energy and money are a premium, laying it down can be a sacrifice. Look at Jesus, he loved us without reservation. He poured it all out, knowing full well many would step over it walk by. For those of us who didn't, who stopped and accepted, we are called to love like that. Sometimes living is harder than dying.
