The art of losing myself

Just read from a book which quoted another book:

"A real barrier preventing Christians from enjoying the rest that Jesus promised is self-effort. Many have been so conditioned to believe that they must "do something for God" that they are constantly struggling to do more and more. Many have rededicated self to God again and again. Yet self is what stands in the way of victorious Christian living. As long as we struggle to live the Christian life, Christ is hindered from living it through us." (Steve McVey, Grace Walk)

Then it continued:

"Jesus does not want to help you be patient, kind, or forgiving. Jesus wants to live His patience, kindness, and forgiveness through you. There is a major difference between these."

That was enlightening.

Again, it's the art of losing myself.
