Fearless-Factor - 1 John 3:16

Sacrifice. Do you see the Love in this act? Yesterday we celebrated Memorial Day. This is a day that we remember those service men and women who serve our country in the armed services. We acknowledge their sacrifice and willingness to serve and the possibility of having to lay their life down for us and our freedom. Last night, while I was ending the day and saying my prayers. I thought about the greatest sacrifice of all time. Jesus on the Cross. We all remember the sacrifice on Easter and on Christmas, even on Sunday's, but this sacrifice is one that allows us peace in hard times, hope when nothing else is there, Love when we are all alone. Our US soldiers face fear on a daily basis and face war during unpeaceful times. The sacrifice they are giving is one of the greatest gifts a man or woman could give for another. That is the Fearless Factor for Today 1 John 3:16 says "This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers." We should be greatful for Jesus Christ's loving sacrifice on the cross more than just on Sunday and Christian Holidays. In a similiar fashion, we should be greatful for the soldiers that lay down their lives for a brother more than just on memorial day and Veteran's Day. This is an example of love. Unconditional sacrifice without fear. Take a moment to thank God for these mem and women who unselfishly take on this duty, that often comes with no glory. Be Fearless and Quiet No More.
