i can't.

how to die to self...so that self is gone..so that my faith can be selfless??

i can't muster up being a Christian wonder-woman on my own.. i can't convince myself to constantly do the 'right ' thing. i can't come up with creative conversation starters every time i'm with someone. i can't faithfully pray when i should. i can't act honestly in every circumstance with my own will.
why i think i can come up with a strategic plan to make it to the mission field and love lost people and lead them to Christ when i can't even do the dishes every day with a happy spirit unto the Lord...

no i can't. 
again Pauls words remind me 
"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me" (gal 2:20)

i found comfort in this quote: "When I understand that everything happening to me is to make me more Christlike, it solves a great deal of anxiety." AW Tozer

thoughts with no conclusion..just resting in Christ's perfect peace.
 HE IS FAITHFUL TO DO A WORK IN ME!
Whatever it takes...Father never stop ridding of 'self'! burn on roots in my life that are not digging into You...Oh that everyone who crosses my path would see You, come to know You and Glorify You! amen.
