Hmmm, sacrifices for serving God, I really can't think of any. Ok, at one time some things SEEMED like sacrifices, but later I realized they really weren't. They were actually for my benefit. God loves us so much, the things He asks us to do are always for our benefit even when we don't think they are at the time.
Well said.

Along these lines, I once saw a card with this verse on the front:
The will of God is exactly what you would want for your life if you knew what He knows.
It was definitely thought-provoking. I felt God telling me to buy it for a Christian sister. I really balked. I didn't want to. But I did. And I sent it with trepidation. You see, she is serving a life sentence in prison for a murder she didn't commit. Those words were easy for me to read, but hard to reconcile with her life right now in my own mind. And yet, I think from what I know of her and her letters she would agree with the statement and be blessed by it. I still have hope for her that she will be released very soon.
thats my man!
Gee, now if I can only live up to it. ;-}
