how often do i see it as a loss, as giving up something that is good in exchange of something that is not as good?
many times, too many times.
we all know better, but we do otherwise...
i guess to put things in perspective: Christ's death on the cross was neither a loss, and His gave up His life in exchange for something that was greater.
1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
so what is a sacrifice, if it's to be made for God?
