Philippians 1
20 For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die. 21 For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better. 22 But if I live, I can do more fruitful work for Christ. So I really don’t know which is better. 23 I’m torn between two desires: I long to go and be with Christ, which would be far better for me. 24 But for your sakes, it is better that I continue to live.
As I begin a week of wrestling with the concept of dying daily to self, I am so glad to read this passage. Paul exemplifies what it means to daily die to self. I want to have the same attitude that he has as he writes to the church at Philippi. May I live for Christ this day, may nothing else matter!
