Dying to self

Proverbs 29:11 

11 A fool vents all his feelings,

But a wise man holds them back.

 

Dying to self

 

If feelings drive your controls you are still alive to self

This will gauge the commitment to the call and ways of God

Here should be no deception but for you to know your feelings

As this may hide the truth from you your believer's guile forgot

 

The degree of how much death we still have to do to self

Is engraved and carved in substance that through feeling, we embrace

Lack of feelings is not indifference to the plight of others

It really increases sensitivity for others in the human race!
