13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. - John 15:13
I'm sure that most of you have seen this verse before. And you know that when you read it you automatically think of taking a bullet for someone, or dying for them in some way, right? Well, it doesn't say that "greater love has no one than this, that he die for his friends." It says "lay down his life." Do you want to love the people around you? If so then give up "your life" for them. Put them before yourself, even if it hurts you. Put their desires before yours, even if you want something so badly. Put their happiness before your own. Then you will be showing the greatest love. The love of Christ. And the amazing thing is that we all can do it.
I am still learning how to live this in my own life. Its hard to show love like that. But if you really love, then live love. If you really love someone, wouldn't you rather be hurt than let them?
And one last thought. Show that you love. Show it and show it.

We can entertain
compassion
For a world in need of care
But the road of good intentions
Doesn’t lead to anywhere
’cause love isn’t love
’til you give it away
You gotta give it away
