Letting Self Die

I am reading a book. A real, paper paged book. I've read this one before, but it's one that is definitely worth more than one read-through. It's worth digging into and really absorbing. It's called A Life to Die For. I'm almost halfway through, but I feel like I already need to start over again and reread and let it sink in still deeper.

I long to have the abundant life. I desire to have Christ so fill my heart and my life that He is all that others can see when they look at me. I want my daughters to see only Jesus' heart when they see me. All that is impossible while my self is alive. I need to admit that my self needs to die in order for Christ to fill me and live in me. This is the only way to have that abundant life.

Jesus, I choose to trust you when you say, "whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."
