"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Sometimes, it seems God asks nearly impossible; His standards being so high that average week kneed, belly aching, fearful person could never obtain ... defeating ourselves even before we've begun. Perhaps we don't listen carefully to what He said. Jesus didn't say we had to "give up" our lives, like victims with a gun pointing to our head. It's rare that anyone actually faces a life or death situation to protect a friend (aside from war). What Jesus actually did mean was to lay our life down willfully, dying to self to meet a greater need - which only counts when done in love. When a phone call comes at 2:00 a.m. where distraught seeking counseling, put aside your need of rest. When you have in mind a shopping spree except you see another without shoes, consider their need first. When you've planned a getaway weekend but your friend has emergency surgery, a house full of children, and no one to care for them - put off your plans.
