ON
SACRIFICE
That which one sacrifices is never lost.
--GERMAN PROVERB
Christians
are often accused of being morbid when they talk of the joy of
sacrificing. I think it is one of the deepest truths of the Christian
religion. Far from being a source of sadness, sacrifice is a great
joy and source of illumination—perhaps the greatest of all.
I also think that to live modestly is always a richer experience
because you are living like the majority of people.
--MALCOLM MUGGERIDGE (1903–1990)
For anything worth having one must pay the price; and the price
is always work, patience, love, self-sacrifice—no paper currency,
no promises to pay, but the gold of real service.
--JOHN BURROUGHS (1837–1921)
I
never made a sacrifice. We ought not to talk of sacrifice when
we remember the great sacrifice that he made who left his Father’s
throne on high to give himself for us.
--DAVID LIVINGSTONE (1813–1873)

ON
SACRIFICE
Our
notion of sacrifice is the wringing out of us something we don’t
want to give up, full of pain and agony and distress. The Bible
idea of sacrifice is that I give as a love-gift the very best
thing I have.
--OSWALD CHAMBERS (1874–1917)
Psalm 51:17 (NLT):
The sacrifice you want is a broken spirit.
A broken and repentant heart, O God,
you will not despise.
Hebrews 13:16 (MsgB):
Make sure you don't take things for granted and go slack in working
for the common good; share what you have with others. God takes
particular pleasure in acts of worship—a different kind of
"sacrifice"—that take place in kitchen and workplace
and on the streets.
Romans
12:1 (NLT):
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your
bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the
kind he will accept. When you think of what he has done for you,
is this too much to ask?
Psalm
141:2 (NLT):
Accept my prayer as incense offered to you,
and my upraised hands as an evening offering.
If Jesus Christ is God and died for me, then no sacrifice can
be too great for me to make for him.
--CHARLES THOMAS STUDD (1862–1931)
