And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?
(Luke 9:23-25)
Interesting how the same word: Denial, can mean different things in different contexts. We don’t live in denial of the truth and try to deceive ourselves, but we live denying our sinful selves to lead a life following God.

But to what extent do we end up losing our identity? Our identity should be built upon Christ, who has give us a unique identity and place as his co-heirs. And theres no point keeping the temporal to lose it, but it means everything to keep the eternal….
