***Love is sacrifice.***

No it is not. Love is an emotional condition. Sacrifice is works.

***What you sacrifice for; you love***

Usually, but not guaranteed.

***Sacrificing your personal resources and self brings joy***

Gotta watch this. Renaissance Italians and West Coast Indians gave huge parties in which they sacrificed part of their wealth. Not all sacrifices are good or pleasing to God.

All People sacrifice.. Some sacrifice to get indulgences in various forms.. Sacrifice is in effect love.. i.e. "pick up your own cross and follow me"... "Love God, and be nice to your neoghbor" is "THE" commandment(s)..

TAKERS sacrifice reluctantly anyway, GIVERS take(receive) reluctantly anyway.. The "love coin" has sacrificeing on one side and receiving on the other..
