I'm Learning...

... to focus less on my personal sacrifices and more on the Savior, the perfect sacrifice.

Why?

Because he knows the tears, the exhaustion, the wanting to be alone, and the deepest form of sacrifice- the giving of his life.

Because I can afford to. When who I am rests in the sacrifice of Christ, I am free to live a life not measured by applause, blog comments or perfection.

Because I am then free to look past myself.

Because I am then free to love deeply and purely.
