dying to self

When is the Cross the heaviest? While you are bearing it. When is it no longer heavy? When you are hung on it. If it is the Cross itself that bears you, you will not feel any more heaviness. You have died, do you feel no pain. If you have truly died to self, you will feel no yoke at all. This is the yoke is easy and the burden that it light. (Matthew 11:30) -Watchman Nee
