[QUOTE="crossnote, post: 74612845, member: 262631"] This is the essence of His dealings with us. Self will never die to self, it takes His working in us bringing us to daily repentance stripping us of what we so dearly cling to. Study the growth in faith of Abraham. First not totally leaving his family as he was told, then lying about Sarah, then not trusting God for His promise of a son but having Ishmael through Sarah...but his faith grew (as self died) to the point where he was willing to obey God despite the cost (even the sacrifice of his only son Isaac. James 2:21). Growth is tough and painful to our 'self'. [/QUOTE]
