what sets you apart

to be desciple, you do not have your own image. you are a direct channel of God and do as Christ would do. you also have no special power or privilege for being a desciple. you are just another person just with a special connection. it must be hard to be a desciple and to give up one's self image. i know i cannot do it. it takes a lot of discipline and focus. i do not have the mental capacity nor the toughness to seperate myself from the world and worldly things. in order to be divided from church and the world, you must do this. this defines you as a christian and a person of God. One step at a time will get you there if you want to get there.
