Edging God Out
The ego is the part of you that is engaged in self-justification. Ego refers to a person's sense of self-importance or self-worth, often reflecting how we view ourselves in relation to others.
Self-contained. Self-propelled. Self-focused. Self-willed.
Me
I.
Who is that?
God reveals himself in the Bible as The Great I AM. He created us in His image to be the reflection of Himself. We are image-bearers and have the imprint of God in us.
I can never be complete until I reconnect with God. The one who stands alone in their own ego, is doomed to destruction. My ego is all about myself and my life—until I engage with God. When I do connect with God, I can become the reflection of God that I was meant to be—the image-bearer of Him.
Then I can do His Will and serve others outside of myself. I can get out of God’s way and my own (ego) to serve others. If I stay absorbed in self, I am in my own “open-air prison.” Until I took the alcohol, that was my separation from God, out of the equation, I was not able to step out of my own prison and ask God to help me.
When I asked for God’s help, He took the obsession for alcohol away. Staying sober now is achievable daily only with God’s help. Until I did this, I did not have complete access to the greatest power source of all. My sobriety is based upon my spiritual condition. Now, with that power, I can walk humbly with him, out of myself and be able to reach out and serve others.
I am free of me.
You can be too!
Surrender.
"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
Micah 6:8
