SELF,
DEATH OF

The only way to achieve mortification is through inner recollection. The soul must meditate on Jesus Christ and so cease to concentrate on anything external and be consumed with the inner spiritual life and drawing close to God.

Madame Guyon

You will be dead so long as you refuse to die.

George Macdonald

There was a day when I died, utterly died, died to George Müller, his opinions, preferences, tastes and will, died to the world, its approval or censure, died to the approval or blame even of my brethren and friends, and since then I have studied to show myself approved unto God.

George Müller

The one true way of dying to self is the way of patience, meekness, humility, and resignation to God.

Andrew Murray
