Here’s my offering:

What Do I Know About Sacrifice?

What do I know about sacrifice?
What have I ever given up?
What have I ever lost?

When Have I sent a loved one off to war?
Fearing they would never return
….and when was I the one that went?

When have I left the comfort and peace of home
To take the good news to the lost?
and when did I even do it here?

What right have I to speak of sacrifice?
What can I even begin to say?
Do I sacrifice at all?

My Saviour gave more than I have ever had.
He died on the cross even though he was God
He gave his all for me and you.

I’ve never sacrificed, never taken that step.
So I have nothing to add
Nothing at all. Have you?
