Previous Daily Devotional About sacrifice and love for God… Ephesians 5:2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. (NIV) Sacrifice to God should be made because we adore Him, because we are devoted to Him, and because we honor Him. Sacrifice to God means we put God before ourselves and we give to Him, because of Him. Sacrifice means we never think about what we are getting back. Instead, when we sacrifice, we think about what we can give, how we can give, where we can give, and when we can give. Sacrifice doesn’t have anything to do with the attitude characterized by thoughts of "gimmee, gimmee, gimmeee." God calls us to sacrifice because He wants and expects all of us to be transformed from a person driven by sin to a person driven by righteousness. The power of God becomes manifest in us when we sacrifice all of who we are for Christ. In spite of the darkness, pain, and suffering you or others must endure, sacrificing through your darkness, pain, and suffering brings glory to God in the highest.
