Love requires sacrifice from "summary" of New Rules for Love, Sex, and Dating Book by Andy Stanley
Love is not just a feeling or a word we throw around lightly. It's a decision, a commitment, a choice we make every day. And with that decision comes sacrifice. Sacrifice is not always easy or comfortable, but it is necessary in order to truly love someone. When we love someone, we put their needs above our own. We prioritize their happiness and well-being, even if it means putting our own desires on hold. This requires us to give up certain things, to make compromises, to go the extra mile for the ones we love. Sacrifice is not a one-time event, but a continuous act of selflessness. It means being willing to give up our time, our resources, our pride, in order to show our love in tangible ways. It means being there for someone when they need us, even if it's inconvenient for us. Love without sacrifice is shallow and self-serving. It's easy to say "I love you" when everything is going well, but true love is tested in the hard times. It's during those moments of sacrifice that our love is truly put to the test, and it's in those moments that our love can truly shine. Sacrifice is a choice we make out of love, not obligation. It's a way of showing someone how much they mean to us, how much we are willing to give up for their sake. And in return, we receive the gift of a deeper, more meaningful connection with the ones we love. So let us not be afraid of sacrifice, but embrace it as a necessary part of love. Let us be willing to give of ourselves for the ones we care about, knowing that in doing so, we are strengthening our bonds and enriching our lives. Love requires sacrifice, but in the end, it is always worth it.
