Sacrifice
Sacrifice usually sounds like a bad thing to most people. But after this week's devotionals, sacrifice doesn't sound so negative. Jesus gave us the ultimate sacrifice of dying for all of our sins, and by sacrificing ourselves (not as literally as Jesus did) for all the people around us by serving and loving them, we are ultimately showing God's love to them. To me this doesn't sound like a bad thing at all. My goal for this summer, and for all the time, is to sacrifice myself and my desires to serve everybody around me and to show the love of Jesus in everything I do.

Yes, Amanda!!! That is a super hard goal to actually follow through on (in our own strength)... But I will be praying for you that Jesus would give you the strength to follow him faithfully, even to the "arena" to be "slaughtered" like Paul talks about!
