Sacrificial Love
Jesus, all powerful and completely perfect, gave up His life for us. He willingly went to the cross to be crucified, the most painful death imaginable, because He loved us so much.
He invites us to do the same.
1 John 3:16 tells us, "This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters."
How can we demonstrate this kind of sacrificial love in our own lives? Can we give our time, attention, or resources to help someone in need? Are we willing to listen and be present for others, even when it's not easy or comfortable? Are we willing to even give up our lives to care for and protect others?
This kind of love is challenging. It asks us to look beyond our own needs and to see the needs of others. It calls us to be selfless, patient, and kind. The good news is, Jesus isn’t asking us to do anything for someone else that He wasn’t willing to do for us first. He knows how hard it is and yet, He still gave everything for us.
Today, let's keep this scripture in mind and look for opportunities to show love through our actions. Whether it's helping a neighbor, spending time with a friend who is struggling, or showing kindness to a stranger, each act of love brings us closer to living like Jesus.

And while all 45 verses are worth studying, let’s take a closer look at the verse that sets the tone for this Psalm, and the four ways it invites us into worship…
“Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim His greatness. Let the whole world know what He has done.”
Psalm 105:1 ESV
REFLECT ON GOD'S GOODNESS
Gratitude comes from recognizing what God has done for us. So in order to show gratitude, we have to recognize how God was at work in our past circumstances. When we do that, we can acknowledge God’s faithfulness and genuinely worship Him.
THANK GOD
In Psalm 105:1, the term “giving thanks” stems from the Hebrew word "yadah" which means, “to revere or ...
