" So where does one begin? With self-crucifixion. In effect, we go to our own funeral and bury the self-will so that God’s will can reign supremely in our hearts. Our will has no power to do God’s will until it first dies to its own desires and the Holy Spirit brings a fresh power within. "

― Ravi Zacharias , The Grand Weaver: How God Shapes Us Through the Events of Our Lives
