“As a soul progresses toward God, there comes a time when the sense of its own sin, as set against the majesty and purity and love of God, becomes an unbearable burden. It is just that awareness, the fruit of many prayers and many trials, that we need above all in the world today.” ~ St. Teresa
“One of the hardest lessons I have learned is this dying to self. It is a daily process, because I am constantly confronted with the choice of whether or not to hold on to hurts, harbor bitterness, feel resentful, demand my own way, fret, worry, complain, the list could go on and on. Dying to self means giving up how I think things ought to be. Dying to self means being content in whatever circumstances I find myself, and being confident that “all things work together for good.”” ~ Lauri Krentz
** Take some time to remember fellow Christians who might be struggling with dying to self. The sanctification process is never easy but it is absolutely necessary. **
