God’s Word: “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13) "After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself. From that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return to his father's house. And Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself." – (1 Samuel 18:1-3)
Beautiful story: In September 1992, Jack Kelley, foreign affairs editor for USA Today, witnessed firsthand the famine in 
We walked behind him in a way that he couldn't see us. When he entered the village, there on the ground was a little boy who I thought was dead. His eyes were completely glazed over. It turned out that this was his younger brother. The older brother kneeled down next to his younger brother, bit off a piece of the grapefruit, and chewed it. Then he opened up his younger brother's mouth, put the grapefruit in, and worked his brother's jaw up and down. We learned that the older brother had been doing that for the younger brother for two weeks.
A couple days later the older brother died of malnutrition, and the younger brother lived. I remember driving home that night thinking, I wonder if this is what Jesus meant when he said, 'There is no greater love than to lay down our life for somebody else.'"
Quote: "I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no more hurt, but only more love." - Mother Teresa
Pray: Today in prayer, thank Christ for the love that He has for you and seek to love others as yourself.
"And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself." - Matthew 22:39
