Sacrifice... But Don't Compromise
My husband was a student in college that time (15 years back) and also serving the Lord ministering to other students on campus. With the zeal he had for the Lord, a lot of his time went towards ministry and not enough towards his own academics. He seemed to be getting lower marks...
At that time... the Lord Jesus inspired him that "when you love someone (even Me)... you would need to sacrifice... but do not compromise."
Serving the Lord (Whom we love) can be a sacrificial act... but that does not mean that we compromise in other areas while serving Him.
