I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. (john 12:24-25)

Man that is good! In death there is LIFE. The things God is doing in my own heart are very painful; death does not feel good! Ha. But that verse gives me so much hope! He must become greater, and I must become less.
