Love is costly. God showed us what we pay when we truly and fully and deeply love. God the Father so loved us that He sent His only Son to us.* Jesus showed us how much He was willing to give to us: He emptied Himself; He became a slave** to love, to God who is love,*** to the will of Our Heavenly Father. He loved the will of Our Heavenly Father so much that He obediently humbled Himself even unto death, and even death on a cross.****
When we really love, we give completely of ourselves. If we actually love, we give all that we have and are. If we totally love, we think, speak and act like Jesus.
