Well, of course, there are many and vast differences, chief among them being that He is God and Savior, and I am most definitely not either. Still, He calls and transforms us to be His body in the world, and I hope that the velocity and acceleration curves associated with the differences between us both have a(n at least infinitesimally) negative slope.
But one big difference is that He wanted to live but was willing to die for you, whereas I want to die but am (usually mostly) willing to live for you. While my death wish is greatly diminished from what it has been in the past due to the grace I have managed to receive, it is never completely gone, nor far from me. But for your sake, I persevere in God's love as He calls and enables me to do, trusting that His plan for my life remains greater than I know or imagine.
