What Is Love Without Sacrifice?

The prevailing opinion is that sacrifice in love is a necessary suffering. Is this really the case?

In the highest sense, you cannot love another without knowing how to love yourself. How do you love yourself? You remove all fear. You ignore external machinations and you look towards the Truth within to guide.

Sometimes, people suffer needlessly in the name of love. The belief that love is to deny yourself, in favour of helping another. This is not so.

Let us look to Christ, one of the greatest examples of love in human form. Christ’s death in the cross was not so much a ‘sacrifice’ as you understand it, but being all He was meant to be, in the truest sense.

Where it feels like sacrifice, is in the act of focusing on the reason that is led by fear, and seeks to ‘protect’, instead of Love, that expands your territory and leads you to being your true self.

In learning to love, it is fundamental to start with the self. However, this requires a deeper level of understanding and Grace in order not to be misconstrued as license to be selfish.

There are no rules on how you must behave to have shown ‘love without sacrifice’. The only ask is that you are One with the Divine Within, the Truth that leads you to Love. In the example given, you may pay your husband’s debt off. However it is not always the case that this is the right thing to do.

Do not go by human logic and morals to define Love. You must always look within and there you will find the answers.
