Ego and self esteem are nothing more than self centeredness.~ “ I am the center of my universe”. I am defined by MY successes and failures. I am defined by what I have acquired, be it material possessions, relationships or even knowledge.
I am separate from others and therefore in competition with them, instead of seeing myself as part of something bigger, seeing my self as part of the family of G-d, the Body of Messiah.
When I see myself separate from the whole I am driven by a purpose that emanates from self rather than from the purpose of the whole, which is Him. When we see our ministry as “our ministry” rather than His ministry we can fall into agendas that are not in keeping with the whole, in keeping with the purposes of G-d. When we think that we are the leader of a ministry, it becomes easy to lose sight of who is the real leader, or perhaps even worse, we reveal who the real leader is.
Interesting that He told Moses that He (Yahweh) was I AM. Perhaps the focus of who I AM is in our lives needs to change. It doesn’t really matter who I am… it only matters who He is.
LET GO
