Ben’s sister needed a kidney transplant and he was a possible donor. After much prayer he concluded that he had no right to live with two kidneys when his sister was facing death unless she had a transplant. He could have opted to let someone else serve as donor. He could have encouraged her to seek a cadaver kidney. But he didn’t. Love wouldn’t allow it – his love for his sister and his love for God.

“Do not withhold good from those who deserve it,
when it is in your power to act.”

— Proverbs 3:27

Lord Jesus, give us a self-sacrificing love for others, a hurting family member, a brother or sister in Christ, or even the homeless stranger on the street. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
