No Greater Love
Dear Champions,
The short excerpt is from Bobby Bowden and is found in his book, Called To Coach. The Scripture is John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. John 10:15,18 I lay down my life for the sheep. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.
One of my favorite devotionals I told our team is a touching story about two children in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. A little girl was hurt and needed a blood transfusion to save her life. They could not find an adult with the same type of blood in her village, so they had to draw blood from her 12 year-old brother. Doctors asked the boy, "Are you willing to give blood to your sister to save her life?"
The little boy said he would do anything to save her. As the doctor started to put a needle into the boy's arm, the little boy started to cry. "Why are you crying," the doctor asked him.
"Will it hurt when I die," the little boy asked.
The little boy really thought he was going to die by giving blood to his sister, but he loved her so much he was willing to die for her.
Champions, have a great week!-David Vining
