“If you truly desire to be a disciple, you must disown your life completely, embrace my ‘cross’ as your own, and surrender to my ways. For if you choose self-sacrifice, giving up your lives for my glory, you will embark on a discovery of more and more of true life. (Luke 9: 23-24 )

Dying to self sounds terrible, not easy and painful so why would we do it?
