Sacrifice, According to the Oxford Dictionary means To give away (something valuable) to get at least a possibility of gaining something else of value (such as self-respect, trust, love, freedom, prosperity), or to avoid an even greater loss.

  • Soldiers go into war, sacrificing their life for the country which they serve. Leaving their families behind regardless of how dangerous or deadly the mission is. Great sacrifice they make, to protect and honour their country.

  • Mother's Sacrifice for her children.

    Mothers go through a lot for her children. Right from childhood when they couldn't do anything by themselves till they grow up. Should we talk about waking up early to prepare food for her children, taking their bath in orde for them not to get to school late? Or we talk about the sleepless nights she had when they are sick? running Helta Skelta for her children to he healthy.

  • This is what we call sacrifice, giving away her time, regardless her health just for her children's prosperity.

  • Father's Sacrifice for his children

    Just like mothers, Fathers go through a lot as well to take care of their family. Let's start with provision of food, clothings and shelther for the family.

    The books, bags you used throughout your primary school level till you graduated, they got it for you. They arrive hard at work to get money in order to pay their children school fees.

    Fathers without job go to extra miles to make money. If its to work carrying heavy loads and running errands for people they are older than. They made all these sacrifices because of the love they have for their children and for the protection and well-being of the family.

And above all;

  • God's Sacrifice for his Children.

    You might be wondering how did God make sacrifice for his children? who are his children?

    You and I. We are his children. He is our heavenly Father. The father of all fathers.

    God's Sacrifice was for you and I was to make us saved.

    The Bible said in John 3 VS 16.

    "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life"

    For God to leave his only son, to die for our sins. This is the greatest love and sacrifice I've ever seen.

Why not learn from this. Learn to love your neighbor. Not at all times does making Sacrifice mean you'll get hurt, though you might have something to loose no matter how little it is.

But there is honour in it.

Thanks for Reading 💞💞

You are absolutely right. God's love and parental love cannot be overemphasised.
