Our Choice to Deny Self
To a few: a prayer from Beyond Humiliation that reminded me once again of it being OUR choice to deny ourselves and pick up our cross daily. I can control what I let in and how I build in my life…“O my God, selfishness is Thy enemy. It is also mine, a mortal enemy bent on my destruction. Thou hatest selfishness, and I desire also to hate it. Thou hast commanded its destruction as Thou didst command the destruction of Agag (1Sam.15). Grant me grace not to spare this foe, but permit Thee to wage war upon it. If it hungers may I never feed it; if it thirsts may I never give it to drink. Undertake for me, O my God, and circumcise my heart with Thy two-edged sword, that I may henceforth be Thine and Thine alone.” Love, DL
