"Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to Whom be glory forever and ever. Amen." (Galatians 1:3, 4)
This is Jesus Christ's definition of love, "....Who gave Himself..."
"I love you," means nothing if it is not followed by, "I give myself for you."
Father, in Jesus' Name, thank You that You, "....gave [Your]self for our sins, that [You] might deliver us from this present evil age...." Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
