Repunzel: "NO! I will never stop fighting! .. But if you let me heal him I will go with you. I will not try to escape. I wll be with you forever- just like you want. Just please, please let me heal him."
Flynn Rider: "No.. I can't let you do this."
Repunzel : "Shh.. it'll be alright."
Flynn: "Repenzel..."
He pulls her close as if he is going to give her a tender goodbye kiss when- WOOSH, he swips of her long beautiful blonde hair that could have saved his life.
Ok, that is paraphrased from the Disney movie, Tangled, but stay with me here. All the geat love stories I can think of have scrifice in them. They give up comfort, safety, lifestyles, and sometimes their lives for the ones they love.
Then there is greatest love story ever told- that Jesus would come down from Heaven and die for you and me.
In the Bible, it says "No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends" -John 15:13
So what are you willing to sacrifice for the ones you love? For your friends, your family, for God?
Are you willing to sacrifice your selfishness and pride for the ones around you? How about your time and energy? What if God is calling you to give up your comfort and secerity for something He is calling you to do?
I am asking myself these same qestions- what am I willing to sacrifice for love?
