I need to DieI'm sure many of you at first will not agree but I really do need to die. I know what your thinking, he sounds suicidal today.... and I am. I need to die of myself so that I my live for a greater purpose.... I continually hold back what I am created to be by being what I want do not want to be. I am a very selfish person, I lack discipline, motivation, and can often be lazy. Many of you will have no problem thinking of any of this is an issue. But it is, how often have we all wanted to do something but never do. we limit ourselves and don't act. How can I learn to love... to truly love if I don't give up something of myself. How can I help those in need by just thinking of them. I need to die of my self daily so I can help others to live. There is a special woman in my life, that has showed me a strong aspect of love I never noticed before and by my actions I learn how to love others they way I love her. Love is shown to me in a tangible form, reminding me what love is like and what love can be like. Not there Generic love a lot of us say "I love taco's... or I love this song" I mean the love that goes the distance. a focused kind of love. Love=Action. Love can be a decision of the heart but it's truly lives in the hand of what we do. Love is not a heart, it's a hand. a Hand to embrace the crying arm of a hurting friend or family member. a hand to pick up those who have fall again and again. a hand that works so that others may live better lives. a hand that touches the person that needs to be touched so they feel that people care. the hand that discipline the child so he/she may walk a good life path. I can give many more things about hand but we must all learn to love, really love with the hands. this is my perspective. take it for what it's worth.

Choosing to die to self daily is a challenge but Jesus is amazing when you think about how He did that daily to feed us. I look to him for inspiration, strength, and peace. He never promised that it would be easy. But He did promise peace if we surrender to Him. He leads us by still waters... His way gives us peace. In that, I try to surrender all to Him. I have to remind myself that every second of every day. I start to lay things at the cross and then I pick it back up as if I was the one who is in charge here on earth.. hahaha.. Yeah, discipline, motivation etc... ask Him for help. And you will be carried and have peace. ¡Cuidate!
Beautiful. It is a struggle, to die daily, and discipline does not come easy for anyone. You, my friend are strong and disciplined enough to know when you need to let go.

Living to Die is a hard one for all to do, but through Christ and your commitment of submission to God all things are possible, because he is able to do everything for you if you just let him and let your Human condition be put to one side. Faith Without works is Dead. May the Lord Bless you and give you the grace you need to overcome.
God Bless and may you have an awesome day.
