We all have this incredible yearning to be loved, to be loved unconditionally, to be accepted for who we are. Our yearning to be loved is a yearning for God. And life is a course designed to teach us how to love and to teach us to love more generously this year than last year, to teach us to love more unconditionally this year than last year. The ultimate expression of this self-giving, self-sacrificing, super-abundant, phenomenally-generous love is Jesus dying on the cross. And in turn, he calls us to lay our lives down. What are you laying your life down for? God calls us to get serious and say, "You know what? I will lay my life down for this, for my spouse, for my children. I will lay my life down for this ministry, for this mission." He calls us to that, that agape love, that unconditional love that says, "Yep. I'm willing to lay it all down. This is that important. I will lay my life down."
