THE GREATER GOOD
"We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us --- and we ought to lay down our lives for one another."
~ I John 3:16 NRSV
"Jesus, you paid the ultimate price and laid down your life for us. How can we thank you but to do the same? Yet it's hard---it's scary! I'm in awe of those who do, and I ask in gratitude for your protection over their lives. Please be with the soldiers, police, firefighters, and other servants who willingly set aside thoughts of their own safety for the greater good. For those who do it on your behalf, reward them with perfect peace and unshakable joy. Convince them of their safety, regardless of their situation. For those who sacrifice without knowing you, draw them in. Let them see how pleased you already are with their loving hearts and bring them the joy of your friendship.
"Have we thanked Jesus lately for the ultimate price he paid for us?"
