WHAT IS LOVE? WHAT DOES LOVE MEAN?
Well the answer you have all been waiting for is.....
❤️❤️❤️❤️JOHN 3:16❤️❤️❤️❤️
❣️LOVE IS SACRIFICE❣️
What!? The verse we remembered since we were little was the answer!? YES
This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again.

~God sacrificed his only son. Could you imagine how difficult that is? Do you know any fathers who would sacrifice their only son for someone else to live? Think about something you can’t live without and then imagine giving it away to someone you don’t even know... You know what that is called?? LOVE, sacrifice!

~God sacrificed control. If He really wanted to, he could have accomplished everything he did in and through Jesus from heaven.
He could have snapped his fingers and made us believe in him…but that isn’t love…that’s control!

~God sacrificed time. Like I said, God could have fixed this thing in like 2 minutes if he wanted to, but he didn’t.
At the end of the day, how do you know that someone really loves you?
Because they buy you flowers and chocolate one time out of the year?
Because they spend a bunch of money on one present on one day in February?
Because they gave you a tear jerking greeting card that has a bunch of words that you never actually hear from this person through out the rest of the year?
No! When it seems like your life is falling apart, they are right there holding you hand…crying with you…spending time with you!
Why do you think Jesus waited 30 years to start his ministry? Because he took the time to be with the people he wanted to minister to!
He didn’t heal people just on February 14th…
He didn’t teach just one day out the year…
He sacrificed.
Life.
Control.
Time.
What is love? That is love!!
