TOPIC: If Nothing Is Worth Dying For, Nothing Is Worth Living For

‭
I John 4:7 ‬
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

*Message*

If nothing is worth dying for, nothing is worth living for. Jesus made us realize the truth that the only way to live abundantly is to first die to self-interest and then offer yourself totally to God as well as anyone around you in need of what the LORD has blessed you with.

*As a child of God, you are empowered to have a high and healthy self-esteem - but you mustn't be selfish and self-centered. When you are only obsessed with yourself, you end up losing the meaning of life. Life is sweet and tasty when you love and serve God, and you're empowered based on that to love and serve your neighbors.*

Without a commitment to the well-being of others, our individual lives are prone to being barren and bitter. Without an adequate commitment to the well-being of those God has strategically placed around you, our individual lives are prone to lack meaning and purpose. Indeed, if nothing is worth dying for, then nothing is worth living for.

*Prayers*

Today, I choose to ride upon my love towards God to care for the well-being of those God has placed around me. I offer myself to those around me in need of what God has given me.

Mark 12:30-31 ‬
[30] And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. [31] And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
