SELF/DEATH TO
He best can part with life without a sigh whose daily living is to daily die.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892)
Man, if you live in God, and die to your own will,
How simple it will be his precepts to fulfill.
Angelus Silesius (1624–1677)
To be willing to accept crucifixion with Christ; to leave all yourself, your plans and your longings, your abilities and your possessions, all of them at the cross so that you only trust and love and live for Christ, hurts a great deal. . . . It requires an absolute venture of faith; but beyond it, God says, “much fruit.” And the way to it is “into the ground and die”—it is the only way.
L. F. E. Wilkinson
When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906–1945)
You will be dead so long as you refuse to die.
George Macdonald (1824–1905)
