Nobody likes dying to himself, but the truth is...
Just as Jesus fulfilled His mission by dying, so do we.
In other words...
You fulfill the mission God has for you by dying to what you think your life should look like and embracing whatever He leads you into.
“If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. (Mt.16:24-25).
