It’s Impossible to Make A Sacrifice for God

The greatest manifestation of our love for God and others is not the mere giving of our material things, but the sharing of ourselves and our personal services for others.

When you first begin to give of yourself, it may look like you’re losing or sacrificing, but in the long run you’re going to find out you’re really not going to be sacrificing at all. You’re just going to be investing, and the returns are going to be far beyond anything you have invested and will far surpass any sacrifice you could possibly have made. Dr. David Livingstone (1813- 1873), the Scottish missionary and explorer who pioneered the jungles of Africa and died there, said, “I never made a sacrifice.” He gave everything he could possibly give. Although he gave his life, he reaped eternal life and dividends in immortal souls—thousands saved forever.

So invest your life and your all in the Rock, Christ Jesus, and invest it in God’s work, and you’ll have eternal dividends that you will never lose, but reap forever. God will bless you for it!

‘To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.” Proverbs 21:3
