Really been doing some soul searching and came across yet another
something I wanted to share and hear your comments. Now this is pretty deep but pretty profound.

An odd sounding question at first until we realize what is meant by it....
Many folks do not realize that we must DIE TO SELF in order to GROW!
Now let's do a little soul searching to see if we truly know what it means to "die to self":

When you are forgotten or neglected
and you don't hurt with insult,
but your heart is happy,
THAT IS DYING TO SELF.

When your advice is disregarded,
your opinions ridiculed,
and youre fuse to let anger rise in your heart,
and take it all in patient, loving silence,
THAT IS DYING TO SELF.

When you lovingly and patiently bear disorder,
irregularity, unpunctuality, and annoyance..
and endure it as Jesus endured it,
THAT IS DYING TO SELF.

When you never care to refer to yourself in
conversation or record your own good works,
or itch for praise after an accomplishment,
when you can truly love to be unknown,
THAT IS DYING TO SELF.

When you can see your brother or sister
prosper and can honestly rejoice with them,
and feel no envy even though
your needs are greater,
THAT IS DYING TO SELF.

When you are content with any food,
any offering, any raiment,
any climate,any society,
THAT IS DYING TO SELF.

When you can take correction,
when you can humbly submit inwardly
as well as outwardly,
with no rebellion or resentment rising upwithin your heart,
THAT IS DYING TO SELF."

Pretty deep huh? I gotta alot of work to do!
