My Take on Mother Teresa’s Loving Until It Hurts

Referring to my previous post “Mother Teresa on Loving Others Until It Hurts“, a friend of mine asked what my understanding of the phrase is. To me it means love needs sacrifice – be it our time, the things we like to do, our ego, our pride. It resonates with John 15:13 “Greater love has no man that this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Of course I am not taking the word “lay down” literally.
