Got this through email from Huimin quite long ago.

Many times we don't think of what God thinks of our actions, we bother too much with our own opinions and perspectives. The 'Me' and 'I' still rules on the throne of our heart.
Are we dead to self daily?

Love is surrender to His will, even if we may seem to lose out. But its impossible if we walk by sight. Walk by faith. The things which are not seen are eternal.
