Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends" (John 15:13).

Greater love means taking the initiative to reach out; to feel what the other person is feeling; to dry their tears; to bear their burdens; to feel their afflictions; to minister to those who are sick and nurse them back to health; to listen with a loving, open ear to those who need to pour out; to be a caring and understanding friend to those who need a friend; to pray for those in need; to let their heartaches be your heartaches; to make their hopes and dreams your hopes and dreams.

Knowing that you're loved gives you hope and faith. It cheers up your whole outlook!—David Brandt Berg
