John 15:13– No one has greater love than this—that one lays down his life^[aj] for his friends.

Grace and Peace 🌱

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” Today we pause.

Not just from routine… but to remember. Memorial Day reminds us that courage is not always loud.
It is not always seen.

Sometimes…

👉 Courage looks like sacrifice.
👉 Courage looks like giving something up so someone else can live freely.

At Hope 1, we talk about courage in action. But today reminds us: Courage is not just about moving forward.

👉 It is also about what you are willing to lay down.

• Your time.
• Your comfort.
• Your own way.

Formation Insight

Before God leads us forward…He often teaches us how to surrender. Because real courage is not just about doing more…

👉 It is about becoming someone who lives beyond themselves.

Closing Thought

We honor those who gave their lives. And we remember…

👉 Courage always costs something.
