We are fighting battles each day to maintain the peace and victories God has given us. Not just saying it, it’s true.
You have to decide for yourself what’s most valuable to you and then, like God who sets the right example, choose to defend it or him or her or them with your life. You have to be ready to die for the ones you love and sacrifice for them putting yourself last.
Verses from God’s love note to us concerning these above are
Ephesians 5:22
22 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Romans 12:9-10
9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
Jeremiah 50:34
34 Yet their Redeemer is strong; the LORD Almighty is his name. He will vigorously defend their cause so that he may bring rest to their land, but unrest to those who live in Babylon.
