Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Ephesians 5:1-2
Just as children imitate their parents, we should imitate Christ. His great love for us led him to sacrifice himself so that we might live. Our love for others should be of the same kind - a love that goes beyond affection to self-sacrificing service. When we are children, it is all about us. As we grow older, we slowly begin to realize it's really not about us at all. Love is giving and love is kind. Love is putting other people's needs, wants and desires before our own. That is what Christ did for us, and that is what we should do for others. Yes, it is that simple.
God bless you,
J.H.
