I do not always want to lay down my life for someone who has wounded me, but God has done this for me. Even though I have sinned, fallen short and would have died in my sin, He came and paid my sin debt by laying down His life.
Be Encouraged! When you do not feel like laying down what you want to do to help a friend or a stranger, think about what Jesus has done for you and reconsider.
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. (John 15:13 NIV)
