Ephesians 5:2
And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

Matthew 20:28
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

In May 1914, two years after the Titanic sank, there was another ship called the ‘Empress of Ireland’ which also sank, though many people haven’t heard of it. About a thousand of the total 1,400 people on-board died. Among those who died were 170 salvation army youth leaders who were onboard, going for a conference. They were fortunate their cabins were close to the life jacket room so most of them grabbed a life jacket and fell into the water. But interestingly none of them survived. What happened?

During the survivors meetings after the accident, most of the survivors told similar stories: ‘A young lady or gentleman swum up to me and gave me their life jacket and introduced Jesus to me and prayed for me. They gave up their lives for me.’ One of the survivors said, with tears in his eyes, “That night, I was saved twice. From the water and from my sin, because a young lady gave me her life jacket and gave me Jesus.” In the icy waters, these young men and women said to the unsaved, you need the life jacket more than we do and gave their lives to save others. The JESUS-KIND OF LOVE.

There is a new force of love stirring in our hearts for this ailing and dieing world. God is touching the world with love from our hearts just as He did with Jesus. Don’t hold yourself back, let love flow from your heart to the world. Hallelujah!

          GRACEFUL MORNING
