Did you do your homework?We are to love one another sacrificially. We are to prefer one another over ourselves, just like Jesus did when He chose to be crucified as payment for our sins.
It's not easy to love sacrificially, but it is tremendously effortless to love ourselves. Once again, we are reminded that we must be powered by a deep and abiding relationship with Jesus. His love empowers us to love one another. As we learn to prefer Him - to surrender to His will, He gives us His heart for one another.
Love Him well. Love Him often. Let Him love others through you.
I was heartened by this story of sacrificial love. Love doesn't always feel good. It is okay that it hurts sometimes, and when it does, we have fellowship with Christ.

Karen Campbell is the mentor mom that I wish had at the beginning of my homeschooling journey. She encourages moms to see that homeschooling is not just about academics. Homeschooling provides daily opportunities to learn the love of Christ so that we can learn to love each other well. Success in life is not just about math and science. Relationships matter.
Grateful for grace,
