Are you willing?

Think on this verse for a moment:

1 John 3:16

16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Do you know love by what that verse says? Jesus was willing to die for you and me. Are you for others? That says much about the love you have for others and it goes for people outside your family and friends.

It also can mean something else other than physical death. What about giving up your time and resources for others. Are you willing? That also gives us a sign of what is in your heart…love or selfishness.

So think on this and ask yourself are you willing to love like Jesus? If we are followers of Him it really isn’t a choice!
