Serving in Love

As Lane and I look ahead to marriage, we are setting ourselves up for a mindset of service. It all starts with our relationship with God, and spills over into our love for each other.

Christ must increase, I must decrease. Lane must become more important, I must become less important.

To live is Christ, to die is gain. I must die to myself and put Lane’s interests above my own.

To love is to lose
   In dying to my own ego,
   My love of self I lose 
 

To love is to gain

   In serving and loving him,
   His growth is my gain.
