When your advice is disregarded, your opinions ridiculed, and you refuse to let anger rise in your heart and take it all in patient, loving silence – that is dying to self.
When lovingly and patiently bear disorder, irregularity, tardiness, and annoyance, and endure it as Jesus endured it – that is dying to self.
When you can see your brother or sister prosper and can honestly rejoice with him, and feel no envy even though your needs are greater – that is dying to self.
When you can take correction, when you can humbly submit inwardly as well as outwardly, with no rebellion or resentment rising up in your heart – that is dying to self.
