Losing your ego to find your identity

Losing your ego to find your identity: God isn't asking us to crucify our desire to be somebody. He's asking us to crucify our death grip on the substitutes we use to fill the space He should occupy in our lives. If you've ever tried to let go of something you've used to define your very being, you know why Jesus says it's like going to the cross. It feels like an execution. ~Bill Peel~
