No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13 HCSB https://bible.com/bible/72/jhn.15.13.hcsb
Giving up what we want for others is something we are all called to do. This life is not about us and our happiness. The funny thing is: giving up our desires for others brings the greatest joy. Selfishness brings misery.
Jesus said: if you give up your life, you will find it; if you hang onto your life you will lose it. Matt 10:39. Now if He said it, it is so!
If we go around thinking: I have to give up this, I have to give up that, we become obsessed. Try yielding your life, moment by moment. He will lead you and teach you how.
I will listen to what God will say; surely the Lord will declare peace to His people, His godly ones, and not let them go back to foolish ways. His salvation is very near those who fear Him, so that glory may dwell in our land.
Psalms 85:8-9 HCSB

Remember, yielding brings joy!
