Are You Saying That as a Distinctive Self or Is It a Condition Subject to You?

The individual as subject being played out here versus the discrete self that we so often live our lives within in America. God is calling us in and through Jesus Christ during this Lent time to have a self that's formed out of our relationship with God in the world. We have to come to him kneeling, giving up control. If you choose, if you are willing, if it is according to your will.
