a chance to die

I’ve wanted to read a book with this title.

A thought on this concept crossed my mind this morning while I’m on my way to the office. Based on what I’ve read about the book, the title “A Chance To Die” came from the concept of “dying to self”. I guess it’s from the context of Galatians 2:20, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me…” and Philippians 1:21 “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” It’s about doing God’s will and not my own will, thinking of others first before myself. I just thought, “God is giving me a chance to die (to myself) everyday.” I wonder if I died today. :)
